Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a crazy ride. It is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you build up your profit, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom drops out.

Blackjack is so akin to a wild ride the similarities are spooky. As with the popular amusement experience, your black jack game will peak and things will be going well for awhile before it bottoms out yet again. You have to be a gambler that can readjust to the ups and downs of the game given that the game of black jack is awash with them.

If you like the petite coaster, a coaster that won’t 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 bet, then jump aboard for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he or she is not thinking on 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’s going up, that is an amazing feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to toss and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you do not, you may not necessarily recollect how much you enjoyed the view while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an awesome ride … your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly remember that disastrous drop as clear as day.
