black jack is a game that somehow reminds me of a rollercoaster. It is a game that starts slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom falls out.

Blackjack is so similar to a roller coaster the similarities are astounding. As is the case with the popular amusement park ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will be going well for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. You definitely have to be a gambler that is able to 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 cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a bigger bet, then hop on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he/she is not thinking about 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 players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s all lovely, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you do not, you might not recount how much you enjoyed everything while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a cool ride and your head in the stratosphere. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that devastating drop as clear as day.
