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?

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.

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.
