Blackjack is a game that brings to mind an image of a crazy ride. It’s a game that starts slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel as though you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom drops out.
Blackjack is so akin to a rollercoaster the similarities are frightening. As is the case with the popular fairground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for awhile before it bottoms out once again. Undoubtedly you have to be a player that shall be able to readjust to the ups and downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is awash with them.
If you like the petite coaster, a coaster that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the mad ride is with a fatter bet, then hop on for the crazy 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 mentally processing 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 players adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is awesome, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you do not, you might not necessarily remember how much you enjoyed life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a nice ride and your head in the clouds. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t clearly recount how "high up" you went but you will remember that catastrophic fall as clear as day.
