It’s not 3,000,000 to 1 ... not even close ... that is why the terminology is important in understanding the concept.

How is it not? I think you're misunderstanding. The words proability and odds are interchangable, at least for this situation.
"The odds of pulling the same card from the deck twice in a row is three million to one" means the same as "The proability of pulling the same card from the deck twice in a row is three million to one."
Or, like I already said, you'd have to pull out a card three million times before you pulled the same card out twice in a row.
