I have enjoyed millions of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager

Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager

Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20

Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 bet

Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager

Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet

If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
