Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a wild ride. Black jack is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you build 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 out.

Blackjack is so incredibly like a crazy ride the similarities are bizarre. As is the case with the popular fair ground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going great for a while before it bottoms out one more time. You most certainly have to be a bettor who’s able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is choked full of them.

If you like the mini coaster, one that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a fatter bet, then hop on board for the 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 considering 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 bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not necessarily remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an amazing ride and your head in the sky. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will have memories of that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
