I have gambled on countless of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet

Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

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

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
