I have wagered on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

Wager $10

Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager

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

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

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

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