I have played countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
