My Gambling Hall Twenty-one Variation Game

I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 bet. 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 strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager

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

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

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

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

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

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