I have bet on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give away 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. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 bet

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

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
