black jack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a crazy ride. It’s a game that starts out slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you build up your profit, you feel like you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so similar to a rollercoaster the similarities are ghastly. As with the popular fair ground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a time before it bottoms out yet again. Of course you have to be a player who is able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is full of them.

If you like the petite coaster, one that can’t 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 roller will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he/she is not thinking on the drop as they rush hastily to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in blackjack, but very few bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s all lovely, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you don’t, you may not necessarily recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a crazy fun ride … your head in the stratosphere. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t easily recount how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that devastating drop as clear as day.
