Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a rollercoaster. It is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you build up your bankroll, you feel as though you are slowly getting to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom falls out.

Blackjack is so akin to a rollercoaster the similarities are frightening. As with the popular fair ground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a time before it bottoms out yet again. You definitely have to be a gambler that will be able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game especially given that the game of blackjack is full of them.

If you like the petite coaster, a coaster that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the mad ride is with a fatter wager, then hop aboard for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because he/she is not mentally processing the drop as they rush hastily 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’s terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you do not, you may not easily recount how much you enjoyed the view while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride … your head in the clouds. As you are recalling "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will remember that mortifying drop as clear as day.
