I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings 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 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 four 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 bet.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can squander a great deal 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 chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

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

Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager

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

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

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

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
