I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 bet

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

Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager

Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 wager

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

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

If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

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