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.
So the guy who wasted over 60k in stubs to buy packs for a chance to earn a card going for about 50k is smart, and the rest of us are high school drop outs? Makes sense.
Half of what was said may make no sense to you, but it does to the rest of us because we understand how it works.

This thread makes my head hurt.

Oh [censored]….plays poker as a second income. Makes sense the entitled and horrible attitude. It’s Phil Helmuth.

Packs are lose/lose. Haven't bought 1 in over 2 years save a flash sale headliner here and there

Playing poker as a second income doesn't help with reading comprehension.
Open one pack or 1000 packs. You odds are the same each time you click on the open pack button.
Probability is higher for you to hit once if you buy 1000 packs.
In terms of the PCT "odds", they are accurate and you are unlucky. Anybody with common sense can figure out it's not 133% chance of pulling something when you list 3-4 tiers of odds.
Glad I missed this one last night. Probably would have had the OP take one sentence of what I wrote above out of context, and zoned in on it as Disinformation.
There's a professional poker player here in these boards. I won't tag him, as many folks like myself enjoy some internet privacy for our out of game lives.
Don't overthink this. OP had bad luck. Sometimes you have good luck.

Yup, exactly what was going to say, right down to the fact that it's just plan bad luck. This year I have had good luck with packs. Not enough for me yo buy them, but way better than I have in years past. So when it comes to packs this year I feel grateful, not as much as I will when I land a Trout.

Even worse... knowing odds doesn't help with poker either. Hate to quote a fictional TV character but you play the man, not the cards.

The lottery is an additional tax on the stupid.

I mean, the guy thinks the Odd's of each possible outcome are supposed to be added together. And not for each individual occurrence...Mustn't be very good at poker or that'd be his sole source of income.
-
The pack odds are based on every single pack opened by any person that plays this game. It doesn't matter how many packs you open, because the stated pack odds are applied to every pack opened by anyone. You can do all the statistical calculations you want but the probably of you not getting a diamond in 2000 packs is irrelevant because for every 2000 you open, there are millions more opened by other players

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....
Your fault for buying them. As long as there are suckers like you, companies like EA and SDS will continue to push these microtransactions.
Also pack odds are per pack, so 1 outta 50 per pack. Those odds reset each time ya open a pack. 1 outta 50, or whatever they claim the odds to be.

The only packs worth opening are ones you get for free.

The answer is A. I'm that other guy who's pulled Trout out of a regular pack, Tatis twice, Acuna three times, Vlad twice, etc., etc. There are people like you and me all over this game, and many more somewhere in the middle.
In terms of perception, though, people with luck like mine don't come on here and rant about how the odds are [censored] because we're pulling monsters at an unsustainable rate that defies the odds. Think about that.

Yeah man it’s just a wisdom thing. Been playing these kinds of game modes too long and I do not ever buy packs and also do not even have the urge to whatsoever. Been down your road too many times before.
