I have gambled on millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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