Blackjack is a game that evokes images of a crazy ride. It’s a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you ramp up your profit, you feel like you are getting to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom falls out.
Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are unreal. As is the case with the popular amusement experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will seem to be going well for a time before it bottoms out one more time. Of course you have to be a player that can adjust well to the ups … downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is awash with them.
If you like the small coaster, one that can’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a fatter bet, then hop aboard for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster wild ride because he/she is not considering 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 bettors adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.
If you don’t, you might not necessarily recount how much you enjoyed everything while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride and your head in the air. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t recall how "high up" you went but you will clearly remember that mortifying drop as clear as day.
