I have played countless of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager

Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar

Wager $40

Bet 80 dollar

Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
