I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on 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 an abundance of cash at blackjack. The casinos 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 gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 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 do not win I return the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet

Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager

Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40

Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80

Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet

Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
