1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards could be dealt from the deck
When wagering on blackjack there is statistically a best way to play every hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you compute the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to boost your action size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.
You’re only going to succeed at under half the hands you wager on, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the odds are in your favor.
To do this when wagering on blackjack you should use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.
Basic strategy and card counting
Since professionals and academics have been investigating 21 all kinds of complicated systems have arisen, including but not limited to "counting cards" but although the idea is complicated counting cards is actually very easy when you wager on 21.

Vingt-et-un Basic Strategy
Blackjack basic strategy is centered around an unsophisticated plan of how you bet based upon the cards you are dealt and is statistically the strongest hand to use while not counting cards. It tells you when playing twenty-one when you need to hit or stand.

Using it when you play twenty-one will bring down the casino’s odds advantage to near to zero.
Card counting shifting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the house in 21 and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favor the house because they aid him make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on her initial 2 cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the house cannot.
He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favor the player because they could break the croupier when she hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
Though blackjacks are, evenly distributed between the house and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don’t have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You only need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your action when the expectation is in your favour.
This is a basic breakdown of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When betting on 21 over an extended time card counting will aid in altering the edge in your favour by approx two percent.
