I have enjoyed countless of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean 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 will not be the same.
