I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10

Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet

Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80

Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
