I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next 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 bet the original wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

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

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

Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet

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

Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet

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

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