Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have wagered on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, 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 funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 win 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 return the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

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

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 bet

Bet 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 initial 80 dollar wager

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager

If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!

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