Blackjack is a game that evokes images of a wild ride. It’s a game that begins slowly, but gradually gets faster. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom falls out.
Blackjack is so similar to a roller coaster the similarities are spooky. As with the popular amusement park experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a while before it bottoms out once again. You have to be a gambler that can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game simply because the game of blackjack is packed full with them.
If you like the tiny coaster, one that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a much bigger wager, then jump aboard for the coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster roller coaster 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 gamblers adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s an amazing feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.
If you do not, you might not naturally recount how much you enjoyed the good life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an amazing ride … your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t always remember how "high up" you went but you will recall that disappointing fall as clear as day.
