If you add card counting that helps you compute the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to increase your wager amount when the edge is in your favor and lower them when they are not.

Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme gain an advantage over the gambling den.
The reason for this is easy.
Low cards favor the croupier in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favor the house because they help her acquire winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on her 1st 2 cards).
In casino blackjack, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the player because they may bust the house when he hits his stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You do not have to count the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.
You only need to know at what point the deck is flush or poor in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the odds are in your favor.
This is a simple account of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.
When wagering on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will help in changing the edge in your favor by approximately two percent.
