In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier cannot.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the player because they could bust the croupier when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, evenly divided between the house and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
