I have played countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 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 bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet

Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Wager $160

If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
