Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a rollercoaster. Black jack is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you ramp up your bank roll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom falls.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are ghastly. As with the popular fair experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a while before it bottoms out yet again. Undoubtedly you have to be a bettor that can readjust to the ups and downs of the game simply because the game of blackjack is choked full with them.

If you like the tiny coaster, one that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a much bigger bet, then jump on for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-stakes gambler will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or she is not thinking about the drop as they rush quickly 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 is going up, that’s a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not necessarily recollect how much you enjoyed the good life while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride … your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly recall that mortifying fall as clear as day.
