1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards should come from the shoe
When wagering on blackjack there is mathematically a best way to play every hand and this is referred to as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you determine the odds of cards coming out of the deck, then you are able to boost your wager size when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when the odds are not.

Counting cards shifting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system gain an edge over the gambling hall.
The reason for this is simple.
Low cards favor the casino in 21 and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the dealer because they help them make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on his first two cards).
In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the gambler because they may break the dealer when she hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Although blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You do not have to count the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the dealer.
You simply need to know when the shoe is rich or reduced in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the odds are in your favor.
This is a basic commentary of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.
When wagering on blackjack over the longer term card counting will assist in tilting the expectation in your favor by approximately 2 percent.
