I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10

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

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

Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

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

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

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

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
