The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favour the player because they may bust the casino when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Although blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You don’t have to add up the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.
You just need to know when the shoe is flush or poor in high cards and you can jump your bet when the odds are in your favor.
