I have wagered on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of bankroll at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 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 don’t win I return the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
