I have wagered on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the game.

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

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit 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 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot 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. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

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

Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager

Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

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

Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

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

If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
