2. What cards could come from the deck

If you add card counting that helps you determine the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you will be able to increase your action size when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when the edge is not.
You're only going to win under half the hands you play, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the odds are in your favor.
To do this when betting on blackjack you have to use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Using it when you wager on twenty-one will bring down the casino's edge to near to even.
Counting cards getting the odds in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan gain an advantage over the casino.
The reason for this is simple.
Low cards favour the house in 21 and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the house because they aid him acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on her first two cards).
In casino blackjack, you can stay 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 wagering on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the gambler because they could bust the dealer when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally distributed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You don't have to tally the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.
You simply need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can increase your wager when the odds are in your favour.
This is a basic account of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.
When playing twenty-one over the longer term card counting will help in tilting the expectation in your favor by approx two percent.
