I have played countless of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on 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 vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 wager
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar

Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Bet $40

Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
