I have gambled on countless of hands of 21. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble 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 will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as 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 wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout 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 do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 bet

Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
