black jack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a rollercoaster. Blackjack is a game that begins 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 least expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are spooky. As with the popular amusement park experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a time before it bottoms out one more time. You have to be a bettor that is able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game because the game of blackjack is full of them.

If you like the petite coaster, one that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the ride is with a larger bet, then jump on for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he/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 bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is awesome, 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 bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an awesome ride … your head in the clouds. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will remember that disappointing drop as clear as day.
