I have enjoyed millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You must 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 aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar wager

Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

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

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

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

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

Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 bet

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

Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 bet

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

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
