black jack is a game that somehow reminds me of a wild ride. It’s a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you build up your bank roll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so akin to a roller coaster the similarities are unreal. As is the case with the popular amusement ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a while before it bottoms out once again. You most certainly have to be a blackjack player that 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 can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a fatter bet, then hop on board for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster wild ride because they are not considering the drop as they rush headlong 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 blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you do not, you may not easily recount how much you enjoyed the view while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride and your head in the sky. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will remember that disappointing fall as clear as day.
