I have enjoyed countless of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

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

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

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

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

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

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet

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

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