I have bet on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a guard of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet

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

Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet

Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

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

Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

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

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

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

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you cann’t alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
