Card counting shifting the edge in your favour

In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the house cannot.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of gambling on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favour the gambler because they could bust the casino when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the casino and the gambler, 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 count the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the casino.
