    If there is a 1/10 chance of getting a diamond, then there is a 90% chance of failing. To fail 10 times in row would be 0.9^10 = 0.35.

    So, there is a 35% chance of not getting a diamond and a 65% chance of getting 1 or more.

    I had predictive reasoning in math class in 8th grade and again in both 10th and 11th,which discussed both odds and ratios among other things.

    Another pack odds thread?

    Each pack opening has no bearing on any other pack opening.

    The probability of pulling a diamond is not affected by your previous pack outcomes.

    If this is a redundant thread I apologize. I’ve only been able to post on the forum since yesterday and I don’t search through all the threads ever made- I’m sorry this thread disturbed you enough to look at it and comment.

    That's not how odds work

    It's 1 in 50, but that doesn't mean one out of every 50 packs you open, it's over the whole community

    I could open 2 packs and get 2 diamonds, you could open 98 packs and get nothing, the odds still come out to 1 in 50

    I got one 4 packs in a row once last year or the year before. It was magical. Nothing good, but was still wildly exciting

    The only thing disturbing to me, is the number of people who don't understand how odds work.

    But it's not like SDS is going to sticky this thread (or any of the numerous other pack odds threads) because it might impact pack and stub sales. 😉

    I understand odds, just not these odds apparently- nhl does a much better job with there odds representation.

    Odds are not guarantees.

    Flipping a coin is a 1:2 chance of coming up heads but that does not mean that if I flip twice I am guaranteed to get heads. I could get 10 tails in a row.

    Also, there is way to much scrutiny on these types of game and in game purchases for them to bother lying about pack odds. It could get them in serious trouble especially in other countries.

    Look at it this way, for every single pack you open you have a 2% chance to pull a diamond.

    we would/should get at least one diamond with every 10 pack bundle and 5 with a 50 pack yet I seem to get 1 diamond out of every 10 10pack bundles and maybe 5 diamonds out of every 10 50 pack bundles. The shown/given odds are a lie. I’m new and thought “wow a 50 pack bundle I’m bound to get something”. No more of the pack buying nonsense for me.

    Dude I've open a gazillion bazillion packs and I got an 85 card once ,he was only 5500 stubs...just once I'd like to win a 90 plus card. This game is a designed rip off. I needed cal ripkin Jr 42 series card to complete my 42 series as I had 3 of them left to get my 99 jackie....ripkin went up to 95k stubbs where as a few days before eit was half of that at least...didn't know what was going on, I bought it, the next day it was back down to 30k stubbs again....I was like what in the flying f....this game has always been a rip off. The cost of game itself isn't enough for them

    Yes but if you flip it enough times, your percentage of heads and tails is going to be close to 50/50.

    So at what point is a large enough sample size for pack opening odds? You are looking at tens of thousands.

    The odds are better of pulling a diamond then the Earth being flat. I think you should buy more bundles.

    So does this game.

    This entire post is comical. I play blackjack at casinos as a hobby. I may lose 10 hands in a row, but understanding the math, and knowing how to play the game, I have no problems playing until things even out.

    On the inverse, if I win 10 in a row, I go home. The math always ends up being right with odds my friend, you're just playing with a VERY small sample size.
