I have gambled on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager

Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager

Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of $40

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 wager

Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 bet

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
