I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 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 don’t win I return the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

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

Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20

Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet

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

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

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

Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet

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

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

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

It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
