1. What your hand is

2. What cards could be dealt from the deck

When enjoying blackjack there is statistically a better way to play each hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you anticipate the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you can boost your action size when the edge is in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.

You are only going to succeed at under half the hands you wager on, so it is important that you adjust action size when the odds are in your favor.

To do this when betting on blackjack you should use basic strategy and card counting to win.

The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break him.

The high cards favour the gambler because they may break the house when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.
