I have gambled on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don't win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very fun 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 $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 bet

Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet

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

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

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

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

Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 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 can happen. And when it does you can't alter and drop your wager or the final result won't be the same.
