I have played countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled 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 cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager

Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

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

Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20

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

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

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

Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

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