Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you're not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don't win again I wager the table minimum 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 wager 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 four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don't win I lower the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

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

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80

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

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet

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

It's hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn't alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
