1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards could be dealt from the shoe
When enjoying vingt-et-un there is mathematically a best way to play every hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you determine the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to increase your action size when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when the edge is not.
You are only going to succeed at under half the hands you wager on, so it is important that you adjust action size when the odds are in your favor.
To do this when gambling on twenty-one you should use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Counting cards shifting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favour the house in twenty-one and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favor the croupier because they assist him make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on her initial two cards).
In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer can’t.
He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the gambler because they may break the croupier when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the croupier 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.
You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.
You only need to know when the deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can boost your wager when the edge is in your favour.
This is a simple explanation of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.
When playing twenty-one over an extended term card counting will aid in tilting the odds in your favor by approx 2 percent.
