In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer cannot.

He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favor the player because they may bust the dealer when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally divided between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You do not have to count the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.

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