I have gambled on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar

Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
