I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 do not win I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a number of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager

Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar

If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
