Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have gambled on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online blackjack, 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 twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Macau 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 amazed at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

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

Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10

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

Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

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

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

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

If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

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