Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a rollercoaster. It’s a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel like you are slowly getting to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.

Blackjack is so very similar to a rollercoaster the similarities are unreal. As with the popular fair ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear as though they are going well for a time before it bottoms out yet again. Of course you have to be a bettor who’s able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is full of them.

If you like the small coaster, a coaster that cannot go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the crazy ride is with a bigger wager, then hop on board for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he or she is not mentally processing the drop as they rush quickly to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in blackjack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s an amazing feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you don’t, you might not necessarily recollect how much you enjoyed the view while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a cool ride … your head in the air. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will have memories of that mortifying drop as clear as day.
