In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier cannot.

The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

The high cards favor the gambler because they might break the casino when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.

You just need to know at what point the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your action when the odds are in your favor.

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