I have wagered on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager

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

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

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

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

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

Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager

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

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

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

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

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