Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a wild ride. It is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom collapses.

black jack is so much like a roller coaster the similarities are spooky. As with the popular fairground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going well for a time before it bottoms out yet again. You definitely have to be a bettor that is able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is choked full with them.

If you like the tiny coaster, a coaster that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a fatter bet, then hop on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he or she is not thinking about the drop as they rush hastily to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in blackjack, but very few bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to toss and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you do not, you might not remember how much you enjoyed the view while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride … your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will always remember that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
