Like. I know they are different and that one is less likely. But could someone explain this in a way that I can explain it to my partner? I know it is true but cannot remember anything about why and how to explain my point.

Look at it from the perspective of just percentages.
Say “winning” is having more pizza than anyone else.
If you have a single pizza and cut it into 10 slices, you can be given 7 slices and have 70% of the pizza. You win.
Now if you have 10 pizzas, each cut into 10 pieces, and are given 7% of each pizza, you’ll have less than one slice of each pizza. The total of all those smaller slices compared to the rest of the pizza you don’t get is a small share compared to the last example of a single pizza. There’s a much higher probability you don’t win.
