black jack is a game that reminds me of a roller coaster. It’s a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops.
Blackjack is so much like a rollercoaster the similarities are awe-inspiring. As with the popular fairground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a while before it bottoms out yet again. Of course you have to be a player that is able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is awash with them.
If you like the small coaster, one that won’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the mad ride is with a bigger wager, then hop on for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he or she is not thinking about the drop as they rush headlong to the top of the game.
A win goal and a loss limit works well in black jack, but very few bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you may not remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your bankroll 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 recalling "what ifs", you won’t clearly recall how "high up" you went but you will clearly recall that disappointing fall as clear as day.
