Card counting tilting the edge in your favor

The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favor the dealer in twenty-one and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favour the croupier because they help her make winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on her first 2 cards).
In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favor the player because they may break the casino when she hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the house and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.
You just need to know at what point the deck is flush or poor in high cards and you can elevate your action when the odds are in your favor.
