Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. Blackjack is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you build up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom falls.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a roller coaster the similarities are awe-inspiring. As with the popular amusement experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going great for awhile before it bottoms out again. Of course you have to be a bettor that will be able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game especially given that the game of blackjack is packed full with them.

If you like the mini coaster, a coaster that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a larger bet, then hop on board for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster wild ride because he/she is not considering the drop as they rush headlong to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in blackjack, but very few players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not always remember how much you enjoyed the view while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a wicked ride … your head in the clouds. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will quickly remember that devastating drop as clear as day.
