I have gambled on millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls 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 gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 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 do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar

If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
