I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit 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 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

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

Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

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

Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!

It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
