I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering 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 never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
