Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have gambled on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of $20

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

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

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

Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80

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

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

Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
