I believe it is generally easier to count cards in single-deck games compared to games with multiple decks. Single-deck games allow players to track the remaining cards more effectively, as there are fewer cards in play, which leads to clearer patterns in the remaining high and low cards. This facilitates more accurate counts and better decision-making.

That's a commonly held belief among many blackjack players and card counters. In single-deck games, the composition of the deck changes more dramatically with each card dealt, making it easier to track and react to the fluctuations in the deck composition.
The simplicity of having only one deck to track can make it easier for players to implement and maintain a card counting strategy. This can lead to more accurate predictions of when the remaining cards are favorable for the player, allowing them to adjust their bets and playing decisions accordingly.
However, it's worth noting that single-deck games often come with other rule variations, such as reduced payouts for blackjack or restrictions on doubling down, which can affect the overall house edge and player advantage. It's important for players to consider these factors when deciding which type of game to play and to choose the game that offers the best combination of favorable rules and card counting opportunities.
Ultimately, the ease of counting cards in single-deck games depends on the individual player's skill level, experience, and comfort with the strategy. Some players may find it easier to track multiple decks, while others may prefer the simplicity and clarity of a single-deck game. It's important for players to practice and hone their skills in different game variations to determine which option works best for them.
