In casino 21, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favour the gambler because they might break the croupier when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Though blackjacks are, equally allocated between the casino and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an edge.
