Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a rollercoaster. Blackjack is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom falls out.
Blackjack is so much like a rollercoaster the similarities are frightening. As is the case with the popular amusement park experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seemingly be going great for a while before it bottoms out once again. You must be a blackjack player that can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of black jack is choked full of them.
If you like the little coaster, one that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the ride is with a larger wager, then hop on board for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-stakes gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because he/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 players 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 get out in a hurry.
If you do not, you will not easily recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a wicked ride … your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t find it easy to recollect how "high up" you went but you will remember that devastating fall as clear as day.
