black jack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. It’s a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you slowly build up your bank roll, you feel like you are slowly getting to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so very similar to a wild ride the similarities are awe-inspiring. As is the case with the popular fair ground experience, your black jack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a time before it bottoms out one more time. Of course you have to be a bettor who can adjust well to the ups and downs of the game especially given that the game of blackjack is packed 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 mad ride is with a bigger wager, then jump 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 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 gamblers adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is an awesome feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you do not, you may not necessarily recall how much you enjoyed the good life while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a mad ride … 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 always remember that disappointing fall as clear as day.
