Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet

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

Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

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