black jack is a game that reminds me of a rollercoaster. Blackjack is a game that starts slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you build up your bankroll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so much like a crazy ride the similarities are striking. As is the case with the popular amusement park ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going well for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. Of course you have to be a gambler who can readjust to the ups … downs of the game because the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a larger wager, then hop on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The deep pocket gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he/she is not thinking about the drop as they rush head first to the top of the game.

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

If you don’t, you will not find it easy to recollect how much you enjoyed life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an amazing ride and your head in the sky. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t easily recount how "high up" you went but you will naturally remember that disappointing fall as clear as day.
