Card counting getting the odds in your favor

The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favor the casino in twenty-one and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the casino because they help her make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on her 1st 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier can’t.
The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favour the gambler because they may bust the house when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly distributed between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an edge.
