Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have played countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos 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 a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

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