Bowl Streaker!

I have played millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. 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 spent all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager

Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10

Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet

Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager

Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $160 wager

If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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