black jack is a game that brings to mind an image of a rollercoaster. Black jack is a game that begins slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a roller coaster the similarities are bizarre. As with the popular fairground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for a time before it bottoms out again. You have to be a gambler that will be able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is awash with them.

If you like the petite coaster, a coaster that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a fatter bet, then hop aboard for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because he or she is not considering 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 terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not necessarily recollect 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 great ride … your head in the stratosphere. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t clearly recount how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
