Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a wild ride. It is a game that starts slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom collapses.
Blackjack is so akin to a rollercoaster the similarities are frightening. As is the case with the popular fairground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem to be going great for awhile before it bottoms out once again. You most certainly have to be a black jack player who’s able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is choked full with them.
If you like the little coaster, one that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a larger bet, then jump aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The deep pocket gambler will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he/she is not considering the drop as they rush headlong 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 is going up, that’s awesome, 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 will not necessarily recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an awesome ride … your head in the air. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly recount that devastating drop as clear as day.
