I "know" you have better odds the fewer the decks, even if you play straight basic strategy, but when a friend of mine asked why I really could not articulate why and I don't recall anyone ever explaining why, at least in any plain english a layman could understand. I know it has to do with the fact there are more "bad" cards to draw from but that doesn't sound very scientific. Could someone here give me a better explanation?

Thanks
