I have wagered on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager

Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

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

Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

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

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

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

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
