I have played countless of rounds of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit 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 wager 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 four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
