I have wagered on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial 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 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager

Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
