I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City 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 amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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