I have played millions of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet

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

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

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet

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

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