I have wagered on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win 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 bet on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet

Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet

Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20

Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet

Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40

Wager forty dollar

Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet

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

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