I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

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

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 win 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Macau I left a game 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 exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet

Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

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

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager

Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

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

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

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

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

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
