I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at 21. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible 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 vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit 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 four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
