Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. It is a game that begins slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you grow your bankroll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so very similar to a crazy ride the similarities are spooky. As with the popular amusement park experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will be going great for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. Of course you have to be a player that will be able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is packed full of them.

If you like the petite coaster, one that will 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 bigger wager, then hop aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he/she is not thinking about the drop as they rush headlong to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in black jack, but very few players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is all lovely, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not remember 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 clouds. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will have memories of that disappointing drop as clear as day.
