I have wagered on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

It’s herculean 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 final result won’t be the same.
