I have enjoyed countless of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80

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

Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160

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

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

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
