Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

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

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
