Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a crazy ride. It’s a game that starts slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom falls.

Blackjack is so very similar to a roller coaster the similarities are astounding. As is the case with the popular fairground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going great for a while before it bottoms out yet again. You definitely have to be a player that can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of black jack is packed full with them.

If you like the mini coaster, one that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a much bigger wager, then hop aboard for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he or 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 blackjack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is awesome, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

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