Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a wild ride. It is a game that begins slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you grow your bankroll, you feel as though you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are awe-inspiring. As with the popular fair experience, your black jack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going great for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. You must be a gambler who’s able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the mini coaster, a coaster that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a fatter wager, then jump aboard 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 about the drop as they rush head first 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 just great, 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 will not necessarily recall 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 crazy fun ride … your head in the sky. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will clearly recall that mortifying drop as clear as day.
