Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a rollercoaster. Black jack is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel like you are slowly getting to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a wild ride the similarities are spooky. As is the case with the popular fairground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a while before it bottoms out once again. You definitely have to be a black jack player who is able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is packed full of them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the mad ride is with a bigger wager, then hop on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or she is not thinking on 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 blackjack, 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 starts to flip and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not necessarily recall how much you enjoyed life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride … your head in the air. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t find it easy to recollect how "high up" you went but you will naturally remember that disappointing fall as clear as day.
