black jack is a game that reminds me somewhat of a roller coaster. It is a game that starts out slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom falls out.
black jack is so remarkably like a wild ride the similarities are frightening. As is the case with the popular fair ground experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will be going well for a time before it bottoms out again. You definitely have to be a bettor that will be able to adjust well to the ups … downs of the game especially given that the game of black jack is choked full of them.
If you like the mini coaster, a coaster that will not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the rollercoaster ride is with a fatter bet, then hop on for the rollercoaster ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high rolling gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because he/she is not thinking about 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 players adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is awesome, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to flip and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you will not always remember how much you enjoyed the view while your bank roll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, an awesome ride … your head in the sky. As you are recounting "what ifs", you won’t find it easy to recollect how "high up" you went but you will naturally remember that devastating drop as clear as day.
