Bowl Streaker!

I have played millions of rounds of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and bet 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 will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet

Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 wager

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

Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet

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

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