I have played countless of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once 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 succeed 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 value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 bet

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

It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
