I have bet on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of cash at twenty-one. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 payout 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 bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

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

Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20

Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

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

Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager

Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80

Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
