I have played millions of hands of 21. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout 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 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 four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet

Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 wager

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

Wager $20

Wager 40 dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet

Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
