Blackjack is a game that most definitely reminds me a crazy ride. It is a game that begins slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so very similar to a roller coaster the similarities are spooky. As with the popular fairground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will be going well for awhile before it bottoms out yet again. Of course you have to be a blackjack player who can readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is full of them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that doesn’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 hop on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he or she is 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 black jack, but very few players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is an awesome feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to toss and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

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