black jack is a game that evokes images of a rollercoaster. Blackjack is a game that starts slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you grow your bankroll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are astonishing. As is the case with the popular fairground experience, your black jack game will peak and things will be going well for awhile before it bottoms out yet again. You must be a gambler who is able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game because the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the tiny coaster, a coaster that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a bigger wager, then hop on board for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster roller coaster because they are 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 blackjack, but very few players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s awesome, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not naturally recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an amazing ride … your head in the sky. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will naturally remember that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
