I have played countless of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

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

Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet

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

Bet 20 dollar

Wager 40 dollar

Bet 80 dollar

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

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

It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
