black jack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a rollercoaster. It’s a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you ramp up your profit, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom drops out.

black jack is so akin to a roller coaster the similarities are alarming. As with the popular fair ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for awhile before it bottoms out once again. Of course you have to be a bettor who can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game simply because the game of blackjack is awash with them.

If you like the petite coaster, a coaster that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the mad ride is with a larger bet, then hop on board for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or she is not mentally processing 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 bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not necessarily recall how much you enjoyed everything while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride and your head in the clouds. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will quickly remember that disastrous drop as clear as day.
