I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 win 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a number of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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