In casino twenty-one, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house can’t.
The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favor the gambler because they may break the house when she hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Though blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the casino and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.
You just need to know at what point the deck is flush or reduced in high cards and you can boost your wager when the edge is in your favor.
This is a simple explanation of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.
