In casino chemin de fer, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino cannot.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust her.

The high cards favor the player because they could break the croupier when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Although blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the casino and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You do not have to tally the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the dealer.

You just need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the edge is in your favour.

This is a basic commentary of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.
