Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. It is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you build up your bank roll, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom falls out.
Blackjack is so remarkably like a roller coaster the similarities are astonishing. As is the case with the popular fair experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seemingly be going well for a time before it bottoms out again. You have to be a blackjack player that can readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is packed 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 you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a bigger bet, then jump aboard for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster wild ride 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 bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you do not, you will not always remember how much you enjoyed everything while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a cool ride … your head in the clouds. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly recall that mortifying fall as clear as day.
