Weird glitch/ error in my console app

kcerlan12 (1)
I recently wrote a Blackjack card game console application in Dev C++, for the most part it works fine, however sometimes i get this glitch where it says i lost even though my number was higher than the cpu's number, i believe that the code i have written is correct and this should not happen and this also doesnt happen every time , Please note that I'm very new to programming, as I just started almost a week ago, and I'm still in the process of watching tutorials online, so I know that I have a long way to go. Also, I'm not very experienced with the while loop. Another glitch ive seen is where it will tell me that i went over 21 so i lost, but I wasn't over 21, Ill hit and my total will be like 20 and it will tell me that I went over.
Heres the code for my game.

I'm a noob myself, started around 3-4 days ago, but I think on if (choice2 == 1)

The number > cpu and number < cpu should be total > cpu and total < cpu

I'd also add
1
2
3
4
5
 
while (goal < 500)
{
cout << "enter a value higher than 500" << endl;
cin >> goal;
}

in the beginning
