Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a roller coaster. It is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you grow your bank roll, 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 very similar to a roller coaster the similarities are alarming. As is the case with the popular fair experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seemingly be going great for a time before it bottoms out once again. You most certainly have to be a gambler who can readjust to the ups and downs of the game mainly because the game of black jack is packed full with 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 that you can enjoy the mad ride is with a fatter bet, then jump on for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-stakes gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster 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 bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not naturally recount how much you enjoyed everything while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a thrilling ride and your head in the clouds. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t clearly recount how "high up" you went but you will have memories of that disastrous drop as clear as day.
