Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a rollercoaster. It is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel as though you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so much like a rollercoaster the similarities are awe-inspiring. As with the popular amusement park experience, your black jack game will peak and things will seemingly be going well for a time before it bottoms out yet again. Undoubtedly you have to be a blackjack player that can readjust to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is full of them.

If you like the little coaster, one that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the mad ride is with a larger bet, then hop on board for the mad 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 thinking about 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 bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s awesome, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you will not easily recount how much you enjoyed life while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a mad ride and your head in the sky. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will always remember that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
