black jack is a game that somehow reminds me of a wild ride. It is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you ramp up your bank roll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so akin to a roller coaster the similarities are alarming. As is the case with the popular fair ground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for a while before it bottoms out one more time. You have to be a blackjack player who is able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is choked full of them.

If you like the mini coaster, a coaster 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 much bigger wager, then hop aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-stakes gambler will love the view from the monster crazy ride because they are not mentally processing 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 terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not find it easy to recollect how much you enjoyed life while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride and your head in the clouds. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly remember that disappointing fall as clear as day.
