I have enjoyed millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to 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. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
