I have wagered on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at 21. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial 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 win 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Bet $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet

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

Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager

Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160

Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
