Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed countless of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

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

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

Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet

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

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

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

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
