I have gambled on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the game.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet

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

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

Wager $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40

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

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

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

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
