I have gambled on millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings 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 win 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have 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 aghast at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager

Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 wager

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

Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet

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

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

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

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
