I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
