black jack is a game that somehow reminds me of a rollercoaster. Blackjack is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you build up your bank roll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so akin to a rollercoaster the similarities are bizarre. As is the case with the popular fair ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for a while before it bottoms out yet again. You must be a blackjack player that’s able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game because the game of blackjack is choked full with them.

If you like the little coaster, one that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the mad ride is with a much bigger bet, then jump aboard for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-stakes gambler will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or she is not thinking on the drop as they rush hastily to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in black jack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In black jack, 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 escape in a hurry.

If you don’t, you will not easily recount how much you enjoyed life while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a crazy fun ride and your head in the clouds. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t recount how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
