I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on 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 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
