black jack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a rollercoaster. It’s a game that begins slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you ramp up your bank roll, you feel like you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom drops.

black jack is so similar to a rollercoaster the similarities are astonishing. As is the case with the popular fairground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going well for awhile before it bottoms out once again. Of course you have to be a blackjack player that is able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is awash with 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 you can enjoy the mad ride is with a fatter wager, then jump aboard for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster roller coaster because they are not considering 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 bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s just great, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you don’t, you will not find it easy to recollect how much you enjoyed everything while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a cool ride … your head in the stratosphere. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will clearly remember that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
