I have wagered on millions of rounds of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Wager 20 dollar

Wager forty dollar

Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
