Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a rollercoaster. Black jack is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you grow your bank roll, 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 remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are alarming. As with the popular amusement park ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear as though they are going well for a time before it bottoms out again. Undoubtedly you have to be a blackjack player that is able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is choked full of them.

If you like the petite coaster, one that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a much bigger wager, then hop on for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he/she is not thinking about the drop as they rush hastily 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 is going up, that’s awesome, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you may not naturally remember how much you enjoyed everything while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an amazing ride and your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will remember that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
