I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit 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 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet

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

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager

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

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

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

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

If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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