I have wagered on countless of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have enjoyed 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 a lot of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four 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 disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet

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

Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original $10 wager

Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40

Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original $40 bet

Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet

Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet

If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
