I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at twenty-one. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence 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 Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
