Bowl Streaker!

I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of of funds at 21. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout 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 bet on the table. If I succeed 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

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

Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80

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

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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