I have gambled on countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

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

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

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

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

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

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

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

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

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