Bowl Streaker!

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

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

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

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first $20 bet

Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40

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

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

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

Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

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