black jack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. It’s a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you grow your bankroll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so much like a rollercoaster the similarities are hair-raising. As is the case with the popular fair ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going great for a while before it bottoms out yet again. You most certainly have to be a black jack player that can readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is packed full of them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a larger bet, then jump on 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 they are not mentally processing the drop as they rush head first 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 is a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you don’t, you will not always remember how much you enjoyed the view while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride and your head in the sky. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly remember that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
