I have enjoyed millions of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered 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 lost all kinds of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout 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 lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager

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

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

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

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

Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40

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

Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80

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

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 wager

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

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