I have wagered on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on 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 money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout 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 win again I take the payout 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 return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you see betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
