Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a roller coaster. Blackjack is a game that starts slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you slowly build up your profit, you feel as though you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom falls.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are spooky. As with the popular fair ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seemingly be going well for a while before it bottoms out once again. Of course you have to be a blackjack player that shall be able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game because the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the small coaster, one that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a larger wager, then hop aboard for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster crazy ride because they are not considering 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 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 do not, you will not necessarily recount how much you enjoyed everything while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a cool ride and your head in the stratosphere. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will have memories of that devastating drop as clear as day.
