I have gambled on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet

Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20

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

Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

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

Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 wager

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 wager

If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!

It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
