Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a wild ride. It’s a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you slowly build up 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 similar to a crazy ride the similarities are eerie. As is the case with the popular fairground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem to be going great for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. You have to be a player who can readjust to the ups and downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is packed full with them.

If you like the tiny coaster, one that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the ride is with a bigger wager, then jump on for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster wild ride because he or she is not thinking on 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 gamblers adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s an awesome feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you don’t, you will not naturally recount how much you enjoyed life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a thrilling ride and your head in the air. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t find it easy to recollect how "high up" you went but you will naturally remember that disastrous fall as clear as day.
