Blackjack is a game that most definitely reminds me a roller coaster. It is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you build up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops.
Blackjack is so very similar to a roller coaster the similarities are frightening. As with the popular fairground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will seem as though they are going well for a time before it bottoms out once again. You most certainly have to be a gambler that’s able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game especially given that the game of blackjack is choked full of them.
If you like the little coaster, one that won’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a bigger bet, then hop aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he/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 gamblers adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you do not, you will not easily recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride … your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t recount how "high up" you went but you will have memories of that mortifying drop as clear as day.
