From the card counter?s viewpoint another important different between one and many decks is the slowness with which
the deck?s original condition changes. Each row of the following [above] table provides a comparison of the fluctuations in various numbers of decks by display of the number of remaining cards [cards seen, in our new table] which would have the same degree of fluctuation associated. TOB

For example, the amount of opportunity likely to be encountered with 21 cards seen in a single deck is equivalent
to what would occur with 60 in two decks and 251 in six decks.

Seeing one card from a single deck entitles us to as much excitement as will glimpsing of 33 cards. TOB

Ditto for having seen 5 cards from a single deck. Here the ?excitement? equals 123 cards from six decks.

Sincerely, enjoy!
