Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have played millions of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls 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 bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

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

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

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

If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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