black jack is a game that reminds me of a roller coaster. It’s a game that begins slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.

black jack is so remarkably like a roller coaster the similarities are astonishing. As is the case with the popular amusement ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seemingly be going well for awhile before it bottoms out one more time. Undoubtedly you have to be a blackjack player who is able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is packed full with them.

If you like the tiny coaster, one that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the ride is with a bigger bet, then jump on for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or she is not thinking on the drop as they rush head first 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 is terrific, 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 easily recount how much you enjoyed life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride … your head in the clouds. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that disastrous fall as clear as day.
