I have enjoyed millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos 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 while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at 21. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 bet on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 bet

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
