When more bad cards come out than good, the count turns "positive". When you have a positive count of more than one, you increase your bet. But this count is "adjusted" by the number of decks remaining. So, if you have a plus 3 count,with 5 decks remaining, you have only a ".6" - not enough to increase your bet. But if you have a 10 count, with 5 decks remaining, you have a positive 2, worth increasing the bet. But, with the dealer only dealing one deck, you're not going to get many good counts - it would be unusual to have a positive 10 after one deck (it might be more likely to have a positive 10 after 3 decks of a 6 deck game, which would be a positive 3.3, which is a nice deck remaining). Further, having only one deck played, after getting a "positive" count, you lose this count as quickly as you get it, without having a real opportunity to bet more.
