Blackjack is a game that brings to mind an image of a roller coaster. It is a game that begins slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom falls out.

Blackjack is so very similar to a wild ride the similarities are alarming. As with the popular amusement experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seemingly be going great for a time before it bottoms out yet again. Of course you have to be a bettor who can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the little coaster, a coaster that won’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 fatter bet, then jump aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he/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 black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s just great, 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 will not necessarily remember how much you enjoyed the view while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a crazy fun ride … your head in the stratosphere. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
