Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a roller coaster. It is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you grow your bank roll, you feel like you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so very similar to a rollercoaster the similarities are hair-raising. As is the case with the popular fair experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seemingly be going well for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. Of course you have to be a bettor that can adjust well to the ups and downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is choked full of them.

If you like the tiny coaster, a coaster that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a fatter wager, then hop aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because he or she is not considering 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 players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s 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 do not, you might not find it easy to recollect how much you enjoyed life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a wicked ride and your head in the air. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t recount how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that disappointing fall as clear as day.
