Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a roller coaster. It’s a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you grow your bank roll, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so akin to a crazy ride the similarities are hair-raising. As is the case with the popular fair ground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for awhile before it bottoms out yet again. You definitely have to be a gambler who can adjust well to the ups and downs of the game especially given that the game of blackjack is full of them.

If you like the little coaster, one that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a much bigger bet, then jump aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he/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 black jack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a cool ride … your head in the sky. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will recall that devastating fall as clear as day.
