In casino 21, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino can’t.
The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the player because they could break the dealer when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

You simply need to know when the deck is rich or reduced in high cards and you can elevate your wager when the edge is in your favour.
