I have bet on countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.

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

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. 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 fantastic runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

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

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

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

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

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

Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
