I have played countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
