black jack is a game that reminds me of a roller coaster. It’s a game that begins slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.
Blackjack is so similar to a wild ride the similarities are creepy. As with the popular fair ground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for a while before it bottoms out yet again. Undoubtedly you have to be a black jack player who’s able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game because the game of blackjack is choked full of them.
If you like the little coaster, one that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a fatter bet, then jump on for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he or she is not thinking about the drop as they rush quickly 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 flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you will not necessarily remember how much you enjoyed life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a mad ride and your head in the stratosphere. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that disappointing drop as clear as day.
