I have enjoyed millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40

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

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

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

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