Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed countless of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way 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 short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager

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

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you left at this instance 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 deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
