Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens 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 chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t 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 bet 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 succeed 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 wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

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

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

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

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

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