Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a roller coaster. Black jack is a game that begins slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you slowly build 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 akin to a roller coaster the similarities are awe-inspiring. As with the popular fair ground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a time before it bottoms out once again. You have to be a gambler who’s able to readjust to the ups and downs of the game because the game of blackjack is awash with them.
If you like the small coaster, a coaster that won’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a much bigger bet, then hop on board for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster 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 blackjack, but very few players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s an awesome feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you might not recount how much you enjoyed the view while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride and your head in the sky. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will remember that mortifying fall as clear as day.
