I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 wager 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 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
