I have wagered on millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet

Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
