Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a crazy ride. Blackjack is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so incredibly like a rollercoaster the similarities are alarming. As with the popular amusement park ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for a while before it bottoms out again. You most certainly have to be a blackjack player that can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game because the game of black jack is choked full with them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a larger bet, then jump on 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 they are not mentally processing the drop as they rush quickly to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in black jack, but very few bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is an amazing feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to toss and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you will not naturally remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a wicked ride … your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t easily recount how "high up" you went but you will always remember that mortifying fall as clear as day.
