An important thing for people is that the seed that matters for cubing is not when an item is revealed, but when it is made hidden.
Also the card counting analogy is rather poor in relation to number seeding and RNGs. As it isn't random at all, just keeping track of a limited set of variables and noting how it affects certain probabilities. Also it is hard to impossible in many Vegas casinos as time goes on. The only similarity is to "hit" when you find a certain desirable thing is likely. (not to mention counting as done conventionally is not necessarily the most advantageous way to play the game)
Cept high-roller tables of course.
