I have gambled on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever 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 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 wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

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

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager

Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40

Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 bet

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

Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
