Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a crazy ride. It is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you ramp up your bank roll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops out.

black jack is so much like a crazy ride the similarities are ghastly. As is the case with the popular fair ground experience, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a while before it bottoms out yet again. You most certainly have to be a bettor who can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is choked full with them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that won’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a bigger bet, then hop on for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he or she is not thinking on the drop as they rush head first 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’s going up, that’s terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you don’t, you will not find it easy to recollect how much you enjoyed the view while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride and your head in the sky. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
