I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 succeed again I take the payout 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 bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet

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

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

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet

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

Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager

If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!

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