Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed countless of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online twenty-one, 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 cash at 21. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
