black jack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a wild ride. It’s a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you slowly build up your profit, you feel like you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are frightening. As is the case with the popular fair ground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for a while before it bottoms out yet again. Undoubtedly you have to be a gambler that can adjust well to the ups and downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is choked full of them.

If you like the petite coaster, a coaster that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a much bigger bet, then jump on 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 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 blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is all lovely, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not necessarily remember how much you enjoyed the view while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a crazy fun ride … your head in the clouds. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will always remember that devastating drop as clear as day.
