Blackjack Is Like A Rollercoaster
Blackjack is a game that reminds me a little of a rollercoaster.
It is a game that starts slow but gradually gets faster. As you
build up your bank roll, you feel like you are getting to the
top of the coaster and then when you least expect it, the bottom
falls out.
Blackjack is so much like a rollercoaster the similarities are
frightening. As with the popular fairground ride, your blackjack
game will peak and things will be going well for a while before
it bottoms out again. You have to be a player that can adjust
well to the ups and downs of the game because the game of
blackjack is full of them.
If you like the small coaster, one that doesn't go too high or
fast, then bet small. If you find the only way you can enjoy the
ride is with a larger bet, then hop on board for the ride of
your life on the monster coaster. The high roller will love the
view from the monster rollercoaster because he or she is not
thinking about the drop as they rush head first 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 blackjack, if you "get on the
rollercoaster" as it's going up, that's terrific, but when the
cards "go south" and the coaster starts to flip and turn, you
had better bail out in a hurry.
If you don't, you will not remember how much you enjoyed the
view while your bankroll was "up". The only thing you will
remember is a lot of uncertainties, a thrilling ride and your
head in the clouds. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs" you
won't remember how "high up" you went but you will remember that
devastating drop as clear as day.
Blackjack can be a very beatable game. It is a game of highs, a
game of lows and where it stops is entirely up to you and how
well you can predict whether to get off the coaster or continue
the ride.
