black jack is a game that evokes images of a rollercoaster. It’s a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you ramp up your bank roll, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a roller coaster the similarities are unreal. As with the popular fair ground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will be going well for a time before it bottoms out one more time. You have to be a bettor that shall be able to readjust to the ups and downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the petite coaster, a coaster that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a fatter bet, then hop aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he/she is not mentally processing the drop as they rush hastily to the top of the game.

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

If you don’t, you will not necessarily recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a thrilling ride … your head in the air. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that disappointing fall as clear as day.
