Blackjack is a game that evokes images of a rollercoaster. It is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom drops.
Blackjack is so very similar to a crazy ride the similarities are frightening. As with the popular fair ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a while before it bottoms out one more time. You definitely have to be a player that’s able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is choked full of them.
If you like the little coaster, one that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a fatter wager, then jump aboard for the 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 mentally processing the drop as they rush head first 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 is awesome, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you will not necessarily recount how much you enjoyed everything while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a mad ride and your head in the sky. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t find it easy to recollect how "high up" you went but you will recall that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
