The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of gambling on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

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