I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you are 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 successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend 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 runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager

Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet

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

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

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

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

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

Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

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

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