Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

I have gambled on millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the game.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet

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

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

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

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

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

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

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
