Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a crazy ride. It’s a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you grow your bank roll, you feel as though you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom collapses.
Blackjack is so very similar to a roller coaster the similarities are striking. As is the case with the popular amusement experience, your black jack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going well for a while before it bottoms out yet again. You must be a gambler that is 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 tiny coaster, a coaster that doesn’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 larger wager, then hop on board for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because he or she is not mentally processing 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 players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s all lovely, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you do not, you will not naturally recount how much you enjoyed life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride … your head in the stratosphere. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will have memories of that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
