I have played millions of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. 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 great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
