I have bet on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played 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 lost an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

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

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

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

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

Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

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

Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

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

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
