I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
