I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent 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 keep in play 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager

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

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

Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of $20

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager

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

Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

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