Truth behind pack odds

@duiaintez_psn said in Truth behind pack odds:
Essentially your probability of pulling a diamond is .02 where the probability of NOT pulling a diamond is .98.
If you wanted to calculate your odds of NOT pulling a diamond in "n" number of packs:
P = (0.98)^n
Likewise, 1-P is the probability you pull AT LEAST one diamond. I wanted to hit this down but I believe 1 diamond is (0.02)×(0.98^(n-1)). To calculate two or more order becomes important and I'd have to jot it out but it would still be some factor of nPr or nCr to account for ordering.i have no clue what this means but i just feel in my gut that you know exactly what you're talking about lol

I see a lot of people saying "I bought a 50 bundle I should've gotten a diamond"
Not necessarily, pack odds are all about probability at random, not per every 50 packs. So each pack has its own odds.
100% of the time you will pull at least a bronzeDiamonds are 1 in 50, meaning you have a 2% chance of pulling a diamond on any given pack. I would assume that within that 2% there is an undisclosed probability on low Diamonds 85-89 compared to high diamonds 90+ so the odds of pulling a Trout are more likely to be 1 in 25 or worse out of that 2%
It's all math, and each pack is random regardless if you buy 1 or 1000, and the house always wins.
true and false really.
Sure if your sample size is just 50 packs you might not get one. But if you were to open 5 billion packs you would find that you got 1 diamond every 50 packs. -
I pulled Trout last night from USA 10 pack reward. Last year I opened 8000 show packs in one sitting and didn't get him.

My packs been hot enough. Hot enough I have been told I can’t complain about packs.
However I will point out that every scammer in the world has a reason to tell their mark how their scam isn’t a scam. If they didn’t it wouldn’t work.
Packs in here are a numbers game. At the beginning the odds are heavily in your favor. As you go on you really do have to open a lot to have a shot to beat the house. I give them a hard time especially when my packs go cold it can be maddening but I will give it to SDS they give tons of packs, rewards and way to make stubs. Plus you can buy stubs with cash instead of having to gamble with your cash to get in game currency. Out of all the sports games they are head and shoulders above everybody in this regard.

We can't do the math because we don't have all the numbers. We don't know how many packs are being opened at any given moment, which is the most important number you'd need to do the math correctly along with the amount of diamonds being pulled out of the entirety of those opened packs.

It was my understanding that there would be no math...

I'm at 97 regular packs in a row without pulling a gold, but I don't buy packs with real money either so I don't actually expect anything in the ones I open. I've only pulled one diamond all year (but at least it was Acuna)
And I've only pulled 1 diamond from Ballin packs also (Stanton) -
If you buy 50 packs, there is a 36.4% chance you will not get any diamonds. With 100, is it a 13.3% chance, and with 10, an 81% chance. Then you have to factor in that there are more lower diamonds, so it is more likely you'd get one of those even if you do pull a diamond.
I have had lousy luck this year, even pulling few golds from regular packs, but then got Acuna the other night from a Team Affinity pack.
