black jack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. Blackjack is a game that starts slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you build up your bankroll, you feel as though you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are eerie. As is the case with the popular amusement park experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a time before it bottoms out again. Of course you have to be a bettor who is able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is choked full with them.

If you like the tiny coaster, one that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a larger wager, then jump aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he/she is not thinking on the drop as they rush hastily to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in blackjack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is just great, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you do not, you might not necessarily remember how much you enjoyed life while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride … your head in the clouds. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
