I have bet on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

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

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

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

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
