I have bet on millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 winnings 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 do not win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

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

Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager

Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of $80

Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet

If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

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