I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings 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 four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet

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

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

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

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

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

Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
