I have bet on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos 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 short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 payout 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 don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 wager

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

Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager

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

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

Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 wager

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

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
