It's because you have more chances per 8 hours if you run more floats. The drop rate is about 5% per float based on my observations. If you run 7 floats per run you'll get gems every 2 to 3 times. if you run 2 well it will take 10 runs or so to get gems. Plus having more floats increases the odds of a multi-gem payout. my best was 4 floats (20 gems) in one run. So having more floats per run will net you positive gems over the (and this is the important part) LONG term if you are diciplined enough to run the parades. And of course, you can garuntee parade drops if you use the cloud saves to save before you cash in the parade and roll back to the saved game if you don't like what the result is and try again.
