Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a roller coaster. Blackjack is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you grow your bank roll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so akin to a roller coaster the similarities are creepy. As is the case with the popular amusement ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem to be going great for a while before it bottoms out again. You most certainly have to be a black jack player that will be able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of black jack is choked full of them.

If you like the little coaster, a coaster that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the mad ride is with a much bigger bet, then hop on board for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he/she is not thinking on 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 blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to toss and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

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