1. What your hand is
2. What cards might come from the deck

If you add card counting that helps you anticipate the chances of cards coming out of the deck, then you can boost your wager size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.
You’re only going to win under half the hands you bet on, so it is important that you adjust action size when the risks are in your favour.
To do this when playing blackjack you must use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Counting cards tilting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan obtain an edge over the gambling hall.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the croupier in twenty-one and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favour the croupier because they help them acquire winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on her 1st 2 cards).
In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.
The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the gambler because they might bust the house when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the casino and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an edge.
You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You simply need to know at what point the deck is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the edge is in your favor.
This is a simple breakdown of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When betting on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will aid in tilting the edge in your favor by approx 2 percent.
