black jack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. Black jack is a game that begins slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you build up your profit, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom falls.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a wild ride the similarities are awe-inspiring. As with the popular amusement ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a while before it bottoms out once again. You have to be a player who can readjust to the ups … downs of the game because the game of blackjack is packed full of them.

If you like the tiny coaster, one that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a bigger wager, then hop on for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he or she is 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 gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s awesome, 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 remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a crazy fun ride … your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t recount how "high up" you went but you will remember that devastating fall as clear as day.
