Bowl Streaker!

I have bet on millions of hands of 21. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager 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 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 wager

Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 wager

Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of $80

Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet

If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
