card odds

Is there anyway that you could switch to theoretical probability of getting each card instead of experimental? Its not that big of a deal, but I would prefer theoretical personally.
Also, is there any particular reason that experimental probability was used over theoretical?
If someone gave you the math could you program it in? Or could you increase it to over 100? I don't know what language this sight is in or how efficient it is, but I know that it realistically would take very little time to go through a few thousand hands with most languages.

sure, give me the equation I'll put it in lieu of what I got.
One thing I like about how I did it is that the odds change as you pull and that's something you need to think about as you are drawing.

Would this help?

I guess the devs didn't want to bother with having to program the math and risk making an oversight somewhere. Running a series of simulations on something as simple as a deck of cards is really easy, and very cheap computationally.
