I have gambled on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have played online 21, 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 money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet

Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar

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

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

Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager

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

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
