In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house cannot.
He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favor the gambler because they might bust the dealer when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.
Though blackjacks are, equally divided between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
