Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a roller coaster. Blackjack is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom falls out.

Blackjack is so very similar to a crazy ride the similarities are creepy. As is the case with the popular fairground ride, your blackjack 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 black jack player who is able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is full of 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 crazy ride is with a fatter bet, then hop aboard for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he or 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 gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not recount how much you enjoyed life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride … your head in the stratosphere. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will recall that mortifying fall as clear as day.
