I have played countless of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win 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 don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
