1. What your hand is
2. What cards can come from the shoe
When betting on 21 there is mathematically a best way to play every hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you compute the chances of cards coming out of the deck, then you will be able to increase your bet size when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when the edge is not.
You’re only going to succeed at under half the hands you gamble on, so it is important that you adjust wager size when the odds are in your favor.
To do this when gambling on 21 you should use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.
Basic strategy and counting cards
Since professionals and intellectuals have been studying 21 all sorts of abstract systems have arisen, including "card counting" but although the theory is complicated counting cards is actually very easy when you bet on chemin de fer.

Counting cards tilting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach obtain an advantage over the gambling den.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favor the casino in chemin de fer and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favor the dealer because they help them acquire winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on their first two cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favor the gambler because they might break the dealer when he hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player 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 advantage over the house.
You only need to know at what point the deck is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can up your action when the odds are in your favour.
This is a basic explanation of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When playing blackjack over the longer term card counting will assist in tilting the odds in your favour by approx 2%.
