Blackjack is a game that brings to mind an image of a rollercoaster. It is a game that kicks off slowly, but gradually gains speed. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom drops.
Blackjack is so remarkably like a rollercoaster the similarities are spooky. As is the case with the popular fairground ride, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear as though they are going well for a while before it bottoms out yet again. You have to be a player who is able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game mainly because the game of blackjack is choked full with them.
If you like the petite coaster, one that does not 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 on for the roller coaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the view from the monster wild 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 blackjack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that’s just great, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you do not, you may 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, a crazy fun ride and your head in the clouds. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly recount that disastrous drop as clear as day.
