I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of cash at 21. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 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 do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

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

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 wager

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

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

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

Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
