In casino blackjack, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino cannot.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the gambler because they might bust the house when she hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly allocated between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You only need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the odds are in your favor.
This is a basic account of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.
When betting on 21 over the longer term card counting will aid in shifting the odds in your favour by approximately two percent.
