Bowl Streaker!

I have bet on countless of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10

Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager

Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

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

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

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

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