    Just spent 62.5k on Ketel Marte packs. 5 of the lower and the 25 k “special” pack. SDS is a bunch of liars! The pack odds are NOWHERE close to what they advertise!!! Bunch of scammers. Hope this company dies like EA and the rest. Pulled 3k worth of players out of 62.5k worth of packs?!?! Why even sell these?! Just say “GIVE YOUR HARD EARNED STUBS AWAY HERE!” Screw game companies that do this [censored]. Opened 7 “big dog” packs just to get nothing but “little puppies.” The new “choice” set packs are the biggest scam of all. Supposedly a 33% chance to get a diamond but yet I haven’t seen over an 83 ovr in 4 of them.... like why can’t they just put the ACTUAL odds up so I don’t get my hopes up. SDS used to be such a great company....

    Some of you guys need to take a statistics class…specifically probability.

    Ok wise guy... then lets see how good you are with statistics since you’re comin in here with that.. what are the odds that I don’t pull at least an 85 ovr diamond in 4 “choice” set packs that have a 33% chance of giving a diamond?

    The odds are the same for every pack. The number you open has no effect. This post just proves that you on fact do not know more about odds than anyone. You're talking about probability, not odds

    Bro, why didn't you just buy Marte? He's 49K on the market. I can guarantee you the odds are 100% that you'd have Marte and an extra 20k stubs saved. Don't buy packs. Just buy the cards you want.

    I love all of you high school drop-outs that think that I don’t know anything about odds because of all the dumb reasons y’all have listed, that literally half of make no sense whatsoever. But anyways I guess I’ll go on to assert that the probability of me not pulling a diamond/top tier out of 5 set packs, 7 “big dog” packs, and 4 set choice packs is right at 2%. But this isn’t my first cold streak either... these 2% runs seem to happen quite frequently. So either A) Ive just experienced an INCREDIBLY unlucky streak or B) the odds listed on their packs are nowhere near accurate.

    Honestly bro I was going to... I told myself I was just gonna buy 1/5 of the 7500 packs and if I got lucky then cool but if not then oh well.. but then I bought my first pack and it gave me 2 bronzes and a god-awful silver. I was so tilted that I bought another. And then got the same [censored]. At this point I was seeing red so my dumb [censored] bought the 25k pack without even hesitating... what do I get as my highest choice?! 82 ovr Edwin Diaz... for freaking 25k?!?! That’s ridiculous! I mean Marte is only worth 55k in the first place so why are they selling a pack that RARELY gives him for like 1/2 the cost of him?! This is my EXACT point!! It’s so SLIMEY that SDS would even offer these scams!!!! That’s all I’m saying!

    How do you know so many dropped out of high school?
    Seriously, you could have just paid for Marte.
    Packs will always let most of us down. I never pay for Flatliners packs. You're asking for a letdown.
    Chase Packs are ACHES packs. Some will get lucky, most not. I'd rather wait for Delgado to go down in price than to watch a Bronze or Silver reveal show.

    Yea I’ll never buy another pack again after tonight... except for when they do the ASG/HRD packs. Because you can actually get cards out of those that make them worth buying.. like last year it was 25k but you had a 10% chance to pull Vlad who was going for 200-300k, and a 33% chance to pull Story or Soto who were going for 80-90k.(the pack with this tier was the only one that was profitable)

    Yes I'm "special" says the guy that spent 62.5k for a CHANCE at getting a card he could've bought outright for about 53k. Wrap your head around that one.

    Also:
    The probability that an event will occur is the fraction of times you expect to see that event in many trials. Probabilities always range between 0 and 1. The odds are defined as the probability that the event will occur divided by the probability that the event will not occur.

    Also for the record, being a high school drop out doesn't necessarily make you an idiot just like having a degree doesn't make you the smartest on the planet. Making posts like these however definitely mean you're a little [censored]

    Surprised no one has said something very important when evaluating odds.

    Sample size. There is no way you have opened a sufficiently enough size to determine the odds as a whole.

    Like look how stupid you are... you’re telling me to wrap my head around something that’s literally the whole point for my post. Thanks for proving me right bro!!

    Also: also what? You literally said nothing that I hadn’t already.. actually you straight up quoted me from earlier.... probability and odds are the same thing!😂😂😂
