black jack is a game that somehow reminds me of a rollercoaster. Black jack is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you grow your bank roll, you feel as though you are slowly getting to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so much like a crazy ride the similarities are bizarre. As with the popular amusement ride, your black jack game will peak and things will be going great for awhile before it bottoms out yet again. You have to be a player who is able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game because the game of blackjack is choked full of them.

If you like the little coaster, one that won’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a fatter bet, then hop on board for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster roller coaster because they are 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 black jack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is awesome, 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 may not recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an amazing ride … your head in the clouds. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will remember that disastrous fall as clear as day.
