black jack is a game that evokes images of a roller coaster. Black jack is a game that starts slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you build up your bank roll, you feel like you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so akin to a roller coaster the similarities are eerie. As with the popular fair ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will be going well for awhile before it bottoms out once again. You most certainly have to be a player that’s able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of black jack is packed full of them.

If you like the tiny coaster, a coaster that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a bigger wager, then hop aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he or she is 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 black jack, but very few players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s all lovely, 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 necessarily recount how much you enjoyed everything while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a thrilling ride and your head in the clouds. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will quickly remember that mortifying fall as clear as day.
