I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t 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 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager

Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager

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

Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager

Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet

Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

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 mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
