Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a roller coaster. It’s a game that starts slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you slowly build up your profit, you feel like you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom drops.
Blackjack is so akin to a rollercoaster the similarities are astonishing. 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 awhile before it bottoms out once again. Undoubtedly you have to be a blackjack player that’s able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is choked full of them.
If you like the tiny coaster, a coaster that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a fatter bet, then jump on for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he/she is not mentally processing the drop as they rush head first 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 blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is all lovely, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to twist and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you might not recount how much you enjoyed everything while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an amazing ride and your head in the sky. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will always remember that disappointing fall as clear as day.
