Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager

Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Bet $10
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 $20

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
