black jack is a game that evokes images of a roller coaster. It’s a game that starts slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you slowly build up your bank roll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so incredibly like a roller coaster the similarities are alarming. As is the case with the popular amusement ride, your black jack game will peak and things will be going great for a while before it bottoms out again. You most certainly have to be a black jack player who can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game because the game of black jack is packed full of them.

If you like the little coaster, one that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a much bigger wager, then hop on board for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster wild ride because he/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 players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is just great, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you may not naturally remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a thrilling ride … your head in the stratosphere. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will naturally remember that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
