Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have wagered on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

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

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

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

Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet

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

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

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

Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet

Wager $80
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 dollar wager

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

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