I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win 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 lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can squander 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 five dollar game.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20

Wager $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
