Bowl Streaker!

I have wagered on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos 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 lost all kinds of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

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

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

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40

Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet

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

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

Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
