I have gambled on countless of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of cash at 21. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lose I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
