My Gambling Den Vingt-et-un Type Game

I have wagered on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet 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 spent all kinds of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

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

Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original ten dollar wager

Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20

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

Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet

Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
