I have enjoyed millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you're not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 succeed 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don't win I return the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
