Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have bet on millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever 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 win again I take the payout 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 lose I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City 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 exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet

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

Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 wager

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

Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

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

Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet

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

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