2. What cards might come from the shoe

If you add card counting that helps you compute the odds of cards coming out of the deck, then you can increase your bet size when the odds are in your favor and decrease them when the odds are not.
You are only going to win under half the hands you bet on, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the odds are in your favor.

Card counting shifting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting plan gain an edge over the gambling den.
The reason this is simple.
Low cards favour the croupier in blackjack and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favor the croupier because they help him acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on his initial 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier can't.
The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the gambler because they could break the house when she hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Although blackjacks are, equally divided between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets 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 croupier.
You only need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can jump your wager when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic breakdown of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.
When betting on 21 over an extended term card counting will aid in tilting the edge in your favor by approx 2%.
