Blackjack Is Like A Roller Coaster
Blackjack is a game that evokes images of a wild ride. It’s a game that starts off slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you ramp up your bankroll, you feel like you are getting up to the top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom collapses.
Blackjack is so akin to a crazy ride the similarities are spooky. As is the case with the popular amusement ride, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a time before it bottoms out again. Of course you have to be a bettor that shall be able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game simply because the game of black jack is packed full with them.
If you like the little coaster, one that does not go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the coaster ride is with a larger wager, then jump aboard for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-stakes gambler will love the view from the monster wild ride because they are 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 blackjack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s an amazing feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to twist and turn, you had better escape in a hurry.
If you don’t, you may not always remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a mad ride and your head in the sky. As you are thinking on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will have memories of that devastating fall as clear as day.
