I have played millions of hands of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls 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 time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout 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 wager 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager

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

Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet

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

Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40

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

Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out 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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet

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

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
