Blackjack

I've played this game for years and it annoys the hell out of me. I've played it more online than in real casinos and it's so hard to win I find it impossible to believe the odds stated are true.
I came up with a way to play which is good when you get good cards and stops you getting smashed to pieces if you hit a bad patch but getting those good runs is very difficult.
The method goes that you have a certain bank worth at least 50x your initial stake (should be a lot more really) and then choose your stake. As an example I'll say £1000 bank. Initial stake is your initial bet and your unit stake. So you begin with £20 as your first bet. If you win you add £20, win again, add another £20 and so on until you hit not 1 but 2 losers in a row in which case you immediately drop your stake back to unit stake. This prevents you from chasing losses on a losing run and wiping yourself out. Obviously it is annoying when you drop your stake and get blackjack on the next game...
This method seems sensible and works in practice better than any other method I've heard of but it is still not good enough for me to win anything!
Does anyone think they know a better method? Just a way to stay even for a while would be good, to fulfil the bastard casino wagering requirements.
