Just to capsulize: The "19,933, ..." value isn't a unique "number of
outcomes after a draw in a 52-card game". Nor is it required in order
to calculate probability, cycle/frequency, return, and variance.
By scaling up frequencies of finishing with each respective hand to
values over this number of hands played, all of the frequencies become
integers. This makes it possible to state the data in summary fashion
in digestible whole numbers, which is an appealing presentation.
That's the magic of this value.
