Blackjack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a roller coaster. Blackjack is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you ramp up your bank roll, you feel as though you are slowly getting to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom collapses.
Blackjack is so akin to a roller coaster the similarities are creepy. As is the case with the popular fair ground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a time before it bottoms out once again. You must be a blackjack player that’s able to readjust to the ups and downs of the game simply because the game of blackjack is choked full of them.
If you like the small coaster, a coaster that won’t 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 coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster crazy ride because they are not mentally processing the drop as they rush quickly to the top of the game.
A win goal and a loss limit works well in black jack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to toss and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you will not recount how much you enjoyed life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a great ride and your head in the sky. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly remember that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
