Bowl Streaker!

I have bet on millions of hands of 21. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed 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 lost a lot of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four 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 back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

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

Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

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

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

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

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet

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

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