Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have bet on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. 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 money at 21. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as 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 wager on the table. If I succeed 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet

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

Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager

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

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