Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed countless of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager

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

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

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

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

Bet $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar wager

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 mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
