I have played countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
