black jack is a game that somehow reminds me of a roller coaster. It is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are slowly getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.
Blackjack is so akin to a rollercoaster the similarities are frightening. As with the popular fair ground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a while before it bottoms out yet again. Of course you have to be a blackjack player that can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of black jack is packed full of them.
If you like the little coaster, one that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the mad ride is with a bigger wager, then hop on for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-stakes gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he/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 players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s terrific, 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 easily recount how much you enjoyed the view while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride and your head in the stratosphere. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will always remember that disastrous drop as clear as day.
