I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 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 do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a few days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
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 difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
