Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have played countless of hands of 21. 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 little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout 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 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 four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10

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

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

Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

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

Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar bet

If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
