Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have bet on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting 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 do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

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

Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager

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

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
