1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards should be dealt from the deck

If you add card counting that helps you calculate the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you will be able to increase your bet amount when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when the odds are not.
You are only going to win under half the hands you gamble on, so it is important that you adjust wager size when the odds are in your favor.
To do this when playing twenty-one you must use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.
Basic strategy and counting cards

Twenty-one Basic Strategy
Chemin de fer basic strategy is assembled around a basic plan of how you bet depending upon the hand you are dealt and is statistically the strongest hand to play without counting cards. It tells you when wagering on blackjack when you should take another card or hold.
It's very easy to do and is soon memorized and until then you can get complimentary guides on the internet
Using it when you gamble on blackjack will bring down the casino's edge to near to zero.
Counting cards shifting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme achieve an edge over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favor the casino in twenty-one and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favour the croupier because they help her make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on her first 2 cards).
In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier can't.
He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the player because they may break the house when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, equally allocated between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You do not have to add up the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the casino.
You just need to know at what point the deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can boost your wager when the odds are in your favor.
This is a simple explanation of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.
When betting on blackjack over an extended term card counting will aid in changing the edge in your favour by to around 2 percent.
