black jack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a roller coaster. Blackjack is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you build up your bankroll, you feel as though you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so very similar to a roller coaster the similarities are hair-raising. As with the popular fair experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for awhile before it bottoms out yet again. Undoubtedly you have to be a gambler who is able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game simply because the game of blackjack is choked full of 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 larger wager, then hop aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he or she is not mentally processing the drop as they rush quickly to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in blackjack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s all lovely, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you may not easily recount how much you enjoyed everything while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice 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 disastrous drop as clear as day.
