In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the house can’t.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favour the gambler because they could bust the croupier when she hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
