1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards might be dealt from the deck
When playing 21 there is mathematically a better way to play every hand and this is referred to as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you compute the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to boost your bet size when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when the odds are not.
You are only going to win under half the hands you wager on, so it is important that you adjust wager size when the odds are in your favour.
To do this when playing 21 you have to use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme obtain an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reason this is simple.
Low cards favour the croupier in blackjack and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favour the casino because they assist her make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 total on their first two cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the player because they might bust the croupier when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don’t have to compute the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the dealer.
You simply need to know at what point the deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can boost your wager when the odds are in your favour.
This is a basic commentary of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.
When playing vingt-et-un over an extended time card counting will aid in changing the odds in your favour by approx two percent.
