I have bet on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet

Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
