black jack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a roller coaster. Blackjack is a game that begins slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you build up your bank roll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so very similar to a wild ride the similarities are frightening. As with the popular amusement park experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear as though they are going well for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. You have to be a black jack player who’s able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a larger bet, then jump aboard for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he/she is not mentally processing 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 gamblers adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s just great, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you do not, you may not necessarily recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a mad ride … your head in the air. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t easily recount how "high up" you went but you will clearly recall that mortifying drop as clear as day.
