I have enjoyed countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager

Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
