Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed millions of rounds of twenty-one. 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 with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 winnings 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 disciplined and do not back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet

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

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

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

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

Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 wager

Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80

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

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

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet

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

It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
