I have wagered on millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings 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 succeed again I take the winnings 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 don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $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 45 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
