I have enjoyed countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 winnings 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 lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

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

Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
