Bowl Streaker!

I have wagered on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. 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 Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 wager

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

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

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

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

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
