Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a crazy ride. It is a game that begins slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom falls out.

Blackjack is so very similar to a rollercoaster the similarities are alarming. As is the case with the popular fair ground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going well for a while before it bottoms out one more time. You have to be a black jack player who is able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of black jack is full of them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the ride is with a bigger bet, then hop aboard for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster crazy ride because they are not thinking on the drop as they rush headlong 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 blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s just great, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not remember how much you enjoyed life 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 clouds. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t recount how "high up" you went but you will recall that devastating fall as clear as day.
