black jack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. It is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you slowly build up your bank roll, you feel like you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so remarkably like a crazy ride the similarities are ghastly. As with the popular amusement experience, your black jack game will peak and things will be going well for a while before it bottoms out again. Of course you have to be a gambler who is able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is full of them.

If you like the small coaster, one that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the mad ride is with a larger wager, then hop on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster crazy ride because they are not considering 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 is going up, that is an awesome feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not recount how much you enjoyed the view while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a cool ride … your head in the sky. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will clearly recall that mortifying drop as clear as day.
