I have wagered on millions of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 win 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 bet. I continue wagering 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 back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

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

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