I have bet on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must understand 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 bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager

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

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager

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

Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

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

Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!

It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
