Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a wild ride. Blackjack is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gains speed. 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 don’t expect it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so much like a roller coaster the similarities are ghastly. As is the case with the popular fair ground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem to be going great for a while before it bottoms out yet again. You must be a blackjack player that will be able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is awash with them.

If you like the small 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 roller coaster ride is with a bigger wager, then hop on for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he or she is not thinking about the drop as they rush quickly 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 is going up, that’s an awesome feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you do not, you might not 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 … your head in the sky. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will recall that devastating drop as clear as day.
