Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a roller coaster. It is a game that starts off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you grow your bankroll, you feel as though you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom collapses.
Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are spooky. As with the popular fairground ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear as though they are going great for awhile before it bottoms out once again. You have to be a gambler that will be able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is awash with them.
If you like the little coaster, a coaster that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a bigger bet, then hop on board for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high stakes gambler will love the view from the monster roller coaster because he/she is not considering the drop as they rush head first to the top of the game.
A win goal and a loss limit works well in blackjack, but very few bettors adhere to it. In blackjack, 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 begins to twist and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.
If you don’t, you may not necessarily recall how much you enjoyed life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a thrilling ride and your head in the air. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will clearly recall that disastrous drop as clear as day.
