Bowl Streaker!

I have played countless of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet

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

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

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

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

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

Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager

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

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

If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

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