I have bet on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of cash at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire 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 next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager 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 four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager

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

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager

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

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

Bet $80
Leave 80 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 dollar wager

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

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