In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.

The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favor the gambler because they might bust the casino when he hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Although blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
