Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have wagered on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 don’t win I return the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Bet 80 dollar

Bet 160 dollar

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

It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
