I have bet on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls 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 lost an abundance of funds at 21. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

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

Bet $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10

Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet

Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager

Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

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

Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s difficult 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 final result won’t be the same.
