I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online twenty-one, 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 funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet

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

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

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

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

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

Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
