In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house can’t.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favor the player because they might bust the dealer when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
