1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards possibly could come from the shoe

If you add card counting that helps you determine the chances of cards coming out of the deck, then you are able to increase your wager size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.
You are only going to succeed at 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 wagering on twenty-one you should use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Counting cards getting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting system obtain an advantage over the gambling den.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the dealer in twenty-one and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favor the casino because they help her acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on his 1st two cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the house can’t.
The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favour the gambler because they may break the croupier when he hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You do not have to count the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.
You just need to know when the shoe is flush or reduced in high cards and you can boost your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic commentary of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.
When playing chemin de fer over an extended time card counting will help in changing the edge in your favor by to around 2 percent.
