I have gambled on countless of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160

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

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

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