I have gambled on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.

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

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 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 bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 wager

Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Bet 20 dollar

Bet $80

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

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

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

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
