Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a crazy ride. It’s a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you build up your bank roll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a roller coaster the similarities are hair-raising. As with the popular fair ground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going well for a time before it bottoms out again. You definitely have to be a player who can adjust well to the ups and downs of the game because the game of blackjack is packed full with them.

If you like the tiny coaster, a coaster that will 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 larger wager, then jump aboard for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster wild ride because they are not considering the drop as they rush quickly to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in black jack, but very few players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is an awesome 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 do not, you may not remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a cool ride and your head in the clouds. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will clearly remember that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
