I have gambled on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you're on fire your on fire, and when you're not you're NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don't win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn't alter and drop your wager or the final result won't be the same.
