Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a rollercoaster. Blackjack is a game that begins slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you ramp up your profit, you feel like you are slowly getting to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom drops.

black jack is so similar to a wild ride the similarities are eerie. As with the popular amusement park experience, your black jack game will peak and things will appear as though they are going well for a while before it bottoms out again. Of course you have to be a black jack player that can adjust well to the ups and downs of the game given that the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the little coaster, one that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a fatter wager, then jump on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because he/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 blackjack, but very few players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is 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 may not necessarily remember how much you enjoyed the good 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 stratosphere. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will remember that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
