I have played countless of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 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 value.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

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

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet

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

Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet

Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager

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

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
