Blackjack is a game that somehow reminds me of a crazy ride. It’s a game that begins slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you build up your bank roll, you feel as though you are on your way to the top of the coaster and then when you don’t expect it, the bottom falls out.
Blackjack is so very similar to a crazy ride the similarities are ghastly. As is the case with the popular amusement park experience, your blackjack game will peak and things will appear to be going well for a while before it bottoms out one more time. You most certainly have to be a gambler that’s able to readjust to the ups … downs of the game given that the game of blackjack is choked full of them.
If you like the tiny coaster, a coaster that can’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 bet, then hop on board for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The big spender will love the view from the monster wild ride because he or she is not mentally processing the drop as they rush head first to the top of the game.
A win goal and a loss limit works well in black jack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it’s going up, that is a lovely feeling, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster begins to toss and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.
If you don’t, you will not necessarily 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 great ride and your head in the clouds. As you are remembering "what ifs", you won’t clearly remember how "high up" you went but you will clearly recount that mortifying fall as clear as day.
