Bowl Streaker!

I have enjoyed countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

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

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

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

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet

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

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