black jack is a game that somehow reminds me of a rollercoaster. It is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you grow your bank roll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so very similar to a wild ride the similarities are frightening. As with the popular amusement ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for a time before it bottoms out one more time. You definitely have to be a bettor that can readjust to the ups and downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is packed full of them.

If you like the little coaster, one that won’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a bigger wager, then jump aboard for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or she is not thinking about 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 players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you do not, you might not remember how much you enjoyed everything while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride and your head in the clouds. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t clearly recount how "high up" you went but you will remember that mortifying fall as clear as day.
