I have enjoyed millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet

Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

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

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

Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet

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

Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar bet

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

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
