Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a rollercoaster. Black jack is a game that begins slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you ramp 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.
Blackjack is so similar to a rollercoaster the similarities are hair-raising. As with the popular amusement ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seemingly be going well for a time before it bottoms out one more time. Of course you have to be a black jack player that will be able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game because the game of black jack is choked full of them.
If you like the small coaster, a coaster that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a bigger bet, then hop on board for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster rollercoaster 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 blackjack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s an awesome feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you might not naturally recount how much you enjoyed life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride … your head in the air. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will quickly remember that disappointing fall as clear as day.
