Bowl Streaker!

I have wagered on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager

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

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

Wager $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of $80

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet

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

Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
