Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have played countless of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings 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 wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar

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

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

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

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 bet

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

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
