black jack is a game that brings to mind an image of a wild ride. It is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you slowly build up your bank roll, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so similar to a wild ride the similarities are striking. As with the popular amusement ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a time before it bottoms out one more time. You definitely have to be a player that can adjust well to the ups and downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is full of 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 bigger bet, then hop aboard for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he/she is not mentally processing the drop as they rush headlong to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in blackjack, but very few players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is awesome, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you do not, you might not naturally remember 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 wicked ride … your head in the stratosphere. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t recount how "high up" you went but you will recall that devastating fall as clear as day.
