    Ive seen kids pull 2 trouts in a matter of 10 packs
    But for me i cant even get a low tier diamond
    I have physically had to grind market to pull over hundreds of thousands of stubs just to get some collection players
    MLB just hates my guts

    I haven’t pulled a diamond since April 22nd, it’s June 11th. The diamonds I pulled were Kershaw and Chapman. No packs will work; not team affinity, definitely not standard, I’ve probably opened 40 ballin is a habit packs, I haven’t even gotten a gold in headliners, (only opened like 10 of them). Starting to think I’m black listed or something.

    Buying packs is a recipe for disappointment... I used to love buying them but I'm now two years clean. SDS gives enough free packs you literally get hundreds of free packs just by playing there is no point to go buy them from the market. Do the smart thing and use stubs to buy diamond players you want. I'm NMS and am 5 teams away from finishing collections and I haven't pulled any diamond higher than 90+ besides Arenado in a BR run.

    This is literally the best advice you can give to people who get so bummed out about packs. My rule for at least the past three games is that I only buy packs in the first 4-5 days when it's exciting to pull anything -- even silvers.

    I hear you. I went to a casino, it says they pay out 92.8%. I didn't win on my five pulls. Total scam.

    Learn odds dude, stop buying packs if you don't like gambling.

    I love the 2 years clean line that's awesome and I doubt I will ever be able to say that. I personally love opening packs and this is a good time to do it considering many, hell almost all of these cards will not even come close to a lineup later in the year along with the fact that SDS just dumped a pile of really good cards from TA 2 on us you can sell off almost anyone if you need a fix and most likely ha E a descent replacement. For everyone who complains about not pulling diamonds keep buying they are out there and you will hit eventually and its 1 of the most fun parts of the game hitting those whales. If your strategy for acquiring cards needed is to gamble on packs good luck but dont cry about odds or complain about things being rigged nobody forced you and many warned against. As for me I hit top tier twice on the Sink 2 packs today I sold both and have just about spent it all on show packs fishing. Luckily I have 2 batches of TOPPS moments to do so I should be able to get my next fix on SDS

    packs are a joke, bought 50 last night barely scratched a 80 gold in all 50 packs, however i think they should abolish paying for anything but inside currency, im tired of playing these fools who literally bought every player they have with real money, 300 rating and every player you have is 98 come on, but feels great when they have all 98 players and i still win with mid 80s players

    Its simple coding if it's 1:50. system should reward you with 4 diamonds. Not hard to reward paying customer.

    i pulled trout on my very first pack of the season that i got with the Jackie Robinson edition...i sold him.....dumb i know but i did, This is my first year of DD and i had no idea how hard he was to pull. I then got close to the whole live series and saved and purchased him. Then i recently pulled him 2 times in 3 days out of TA and BisH packs. what can i say, i'm lucky. But i've literally spent 0$, and have quite the collection.

    Old thread I know but it’s here. 1-50 chance of pulling 99% chance that is 3x value of the pack. 1-10 chance of breaking even on the pack, possible slight loss. 44-50 chance of losing probably 50+% of the pack value.

    Packs go in a cycle. First part can probably stay ahead of you grind and sell everything. Second part man these are bad but maybe I get lucky. 3rd part(where we are now) only reason they are available is there are no regulations on video game packs.

    Nope, 1:50 per pack, not 1:50 out of a bundle of packs. Just don't buy packs, simple as that.

    I don't buy packs. But like I said it should be more of a sure thing when you spend a large amount.

    100% agree. I had like 50 diamond pulls last year and maybe 15-20 this year. Odds seem way lower this year... but I have pulled Trout twice this year, none last year. lol

    That would be nice. The thing is, if it ain't broke don't fix it. SDS is making a [censored] ton of $ because people buy packs even though the odds are awful, like so awful that going to Vegas seems like a better idea. People who chose to spend extra $ on the game will continue to no matter what. Some people get insane pack luck and some get horrible pack luck. It is what it is.

    This is why I play no money spent. Ironically I've pulled 9 diamonds from free packs including trout ; )

    This 100%. I’m not even going to say how many I’ve pulled and i don’t use stubs to buy packs either.

    I’ve pulled plenty of diamonds without buying a single pack including deGrom twice.

    I've pulled 2 Trouts this year. One of them must have been yours delivered to me on accident.
