Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed millions of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 succeed 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City 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 thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

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

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

Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar 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 often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
