Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a wild ride. It’s a game that starts slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you build up your bankroll, you feel as though 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 remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are hair-raising. As is the case with the popular amusement experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going well for a time before it bottoms out one more time. Of course you have to be a player who is able to readjust to the ups and downs of the game mainly because the game of black jack is full of them.
If you like the mini coaster, a coaster that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a fatter bet, then hop on board 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/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 blackjack, but very few players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.
If you do not, you may not find it easy to recollect how much you enjoyed the view while your cash was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a thrilling ride and your head in the sky. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will remember that devastating fall as clear as day.
