Bowl Streaker!

I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking 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 all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager

Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10

Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet

Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80

Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
