The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favor the player because they could break the casino when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
