Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet

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

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

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