Blackjack is a game that brings to mind an image of a rollercoaster. Blackjack is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you are not expecting it, the bottom falls out.
Blackjack is so remarkably like a wild ride the similarities are creepy. As is the case with the popular amusement park ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going great for a while before it bottoms out again. You have to be a bettor that will be able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is packed 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 you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a bigger bet, then hop on for the mad ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster rollercoaster because he/she is not thinking about 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 just great, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you might not easily recount how much you enjoyed life while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a mad ride and your head in the clouds. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will always remember that disappointing drop as clear as day.
