I have gambled on countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets 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 Venetian a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10

Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

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