Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a wild ride. It’s a game that starts slowly, but gradually picks up the pace. As you build up your bankroll, you feel like you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom falls.
Blackjack is so akin to a wild ride the similarities are frightening. As is the case with the popular amusement ride, your black jack game will peak and things will be going great for awhile before it bottoms out yet again. You must be a bettor that’s able to adjust well to the ups and downs of the game because the game of blackjack is awash with them.
If you like the small coaster, one that won’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the mad ride is with a fatter wager, then jump on for the ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big money player will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or 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 black jack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that is a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better bail out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you will not easily recount how much you enjoyed the view 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 reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will remember that catastrophic drop as clear as day.
