Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played 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 spent all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can lose much 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. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

Wager $10

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar

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

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