black jack is a game that somehow reminds me of a wild ride. It is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you slowly build up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops.

Blackjack is so similar to a wild ride the similarities are creepy. As with the popular fairground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seemingly be going great for a time before it bottoms out again. You have to be a player who can adjust well to the ups and downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is full of them.

If you like the mini coaster, a coaster that can’t 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 wager, then jump on for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because he/she is not thinking about 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 players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s an amazing feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.

If you do not, you may not always remember how much you enjoyed everything while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a wicked ride and your head in the air. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t recount how "high up" you went but you will be reminded of that mortifying drop as clear as day.
