The result is that you get higher "luck"... (Well, less loss.) potential.
The catch is that you are adding more connections to maintain, and SEND/GET with.
The bottom line is this...
1: If one server goes down, without pool-hopping penalty, you continue to make uninterrupted funds. The other GPU's simply process more of the other pools shares until the down-pool comes online again.
2: You do not loose-out for pool-hopping, since you are "Still" there, when a pool comes back online.
3: If one pool has bad luck, chances are, the other pool you are in, just got that block which the other pool did not get. Thus, YOU do not loose from that bad-luck, you continue to get the same value from the other pool.
4: In the end, your gains will be more than the 3% you lost in fees, for participating in any ONE single pool. Your gains will also include, "no losses from down-time", no losses from "pool hopping decay share degrading".
(Pool luck, not the whole "pie". Only about 80% of the pie is "pools" you can join.)
Single pool luck:
If you are in a pool that is 10% of the total pools = 10% lucky, 90% unlucky
Multi-pool luck:
If you are in a pools that total 50% of the pools = 50% lucky, 50% unlucky
All-pool luck:
If you are in a pools that total 100% of the pools = 100% lucky, 0% unlucky
Thus, losses in ONE pool, are 90% of "luck". Losses in half the pools is only about 50%. If you average over time, all your losses from a single pool, they will be greater than 20% of your potential income. (That includes down-time and lost shares and fees and withholding and orphaned and stale-blocks.) If you average out your losses from multi-pools, they will be less than 5% of your potential. Thus, joining only ONE more pool, will give you back the 3% that most pools charge. But it will not give you back all the bonuses that you may loose, from splitting into pools that do not actually offer the same rewards to start-off.
EG, some give name-coins (which is a nice 5% bonus). Some give you the "transaction fees" that are being paid to process the blocks. (Others that do not, are keeping those fees, in addition to the 3% they charge you to mine for them!) Some just "have poor operating and records", seemingly loosing your "shares", or mysteriously "restart", just as shares start to rise, and the pool-hop decay knocks share-values back down for the next block being found. Thus, leaving the majority of the next blocks funds going to the pool operator. Though, when audited, they "look" like they honestly paid all "due shares", even though they are manipulating what "due" values are.
In the end, it is the best way to "reduce losses". Thus, resulting in apparent gains. It is 100% better than solo-mining, guaranteed. It is at-least 50% better than pool-mining on the largest pool. So, win-win... rather... less-loss less-loss.
