black jack is a game that brings to mind an image of a roller coaster. It is a game that starts slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you grow your bank roll, you feel as though you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom falls.

black jack is so akin to a wild ride the similarities are bizarre. As is the case with the popular fair ground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for awhile before it bottoms out once again. Undoubtedly you have to be a player that will be able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of black jack is packed 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 you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a larger bet, then hop on for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or 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 black jack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, 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 twist and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you may not always remember how much you enjoyed life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride … your head in the clouds. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t recount how "high up" you went but you will naturally remember that mortifying drop as clear as day.
