I have bet on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
