Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a roller coaster. It’s a game that starts slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you slowly build up your profit, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom falls.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a crazy ride the similarities are alarming. As is the case with the popular fair ground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a time before it bottoms out once again. You definitely have to be a player who is able to readjust to the ups and downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is full of them.

If you like the petite coaster, one that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a much bigger wager, then jump on for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because they are not thinking on 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 black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s all lovely, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not naturally remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an amazing ride … your head in the air. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will quickly remember that disappointing drop as clear as day.
