1. What your hand is
2. What cards could be dealt from the deck

If you add card counting that helps you determine the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you will be able to boost your action size when the odds are in your favor and decrease them when the edge is not.
You’re only going to win under half the hands you play, so it is important that you adjust action size when the odds are in your favor.
To do this when gambling on vingt-et-un you have to use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Counting cards tilting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach obtain an advantage over the casino.
The reason for this is easy.
Low cards favor the dealer in vingt-et-un and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the dealer because they help them acquire winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his first 2 cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino cannot.
The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favor the gambler because they could bust the dealer when she hits his stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.
Although blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You do not have to compute the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the dealer.
You just need to know when the shoe is rich or poor in high cards and you can increase your wager when the edge is in your favour.
This is a basic explanation of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When wagering on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will help in changing the expectation in your favor by approx 2%.
