Blackjack is a game that evokes images of a rollercoaster. It’s a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you build up your bankroll, you feel like you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom falls out.
Blackjack is so much like a roller coaster the similarities are striking. As is the case with the popular fair ground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will be going well for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. Undoubtedly you have to be a player who can readjust to the ups and downs of the game because the game of black jack is awash with them.
If you like the mini coaster, a coaster that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the mad ride is with a fatter bet, then jump on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he or she is not considering 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 black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to toss and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.
If you do not, you will not naturally recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an awesome ride and your head in the clouds. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will remember that disastrous fall as clear as day.
