I have bet on millions of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, 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 cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

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

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

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

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

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

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
