Opened 7 “big dog” packs just to get nothing but little puppies.
Credit where it’s due. This gave me a good chuckle.

Someone doesn't understand how odds work
Guarantee you I understand them better than you.
Your post proves otherwise
Ok then what are the odds that I pull 7 “base” tiers in a row for the “big dog” packs? (20% chance of success)
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.
This is great!!!! You made my day!!!!

You do know whether you open 1 or 1,000, the odds per pack are the same. For instance, standard packs are 1:50 for a diamond. That doesn't mean you automatically get a diamond if you open 50.

@the_dragon1912 said in This game is a scam:
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
this is right, the packs opened are aggregated among all players, so this guy hit his 20 percent chance of not getting anything out the 7 headliner packs.....meanwhile someone else may of pulled two or possibly three......the odds are not on individual basis, they are an aggregate of all packs opened.
to OP, Go buy a hobby box of Topps and then complain you didn't get an insert that is 1/24 pack odds.......you didn't for the same reason you didn't here

Not to be that guy, but why spend 60k on packs when the card is 50k in the store..

I would also think you have to figure in all the bronzes,silvers and golds that are available as well that could land in that last slot.
I don't worry about it my thought is if I pull one fine if I don't fine.

Lol don’t matter how many packs you buy. If the odds are 1 out of 10 Packs get a 85+ that does not mean I buy 10 packs I am guaranteed a diamond. EVERY PACK has a 1 out of 10 chance or 10% chance of having the diamond in that particular pack.

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?
67%

the probability is actually 37, but this doesn't take in to fact the other hundreds of packs being opened...the other guy opening 4 packs could have gotten "his" hit which would make his probability go up to a higher chance of not getting a hit. This dude is focusing on only his 4 packs, when in reality there are hundreds of others being opened as well.
Dude would probably stay in a poker hand with pocket Aces when the flop has 2 10s and a J suited.......then the turn is a Q suited...then the River is an A..... :I got a a full house! other dude has a straight flush and you are done because you only focused on your hand and not the other guy and the cards on the table......what did Kenny Rogers say? "know when to hold em, know when to fold em."

Are you a janitor at an Ivy League school that’s solves random advanced math problems in anonymity?
Anyways the poker thing intrigues me. I’m good with poker odds and strength of hand. Let me ask you this, would you knowingly go all in with 20% odds of winning a hand straight up, versus another player? And would you buy back in and continue to do it?
If that’s the case I’d say your second job isn’t poker. I’d say you have one job and that job covers your poker losses.

While OP is right about odds and probability, I wonder how many diamond equipment/sponsorships/unlockables did you pull from your packs as a whole? I'm almost positive The odds everybody gets stuck on is pulling a diamond player...when in reality SDS takes into account the various unlockables and includes them in the calculations. Just my two cents

If you read the odds on a standard pack, it will states 1/50 for diamond player

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
Wow dude you must be one of those “special” people. Are you trying to say that odds and probability are different?!?!
Odds is literally defined as the probability of something occurring divided by the probability of something not occurring...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.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!
I think you need to be careful of who you're talking to like that. Keep talking to the wrong person like that tough guy.

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....
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.
did you see the post on Reddit with the spanish guy laughing and the text below about pack odds? one of the best posts ever, ties perfectly to this OP
Haven’t seen that. I’ll check it out haha.
one of the best videos ive seen - do NOT drink a hot beverage while watching -

Buying packs on games is always a scam, sorry. It’s gambling. This is why I only open up packs I earn

That could simply be an oversight due to copy/paste jobs from previous years. Reason I say that is because I used to pull diamond equipment for my RTTS dude left and right in previous years, now I rarely ever pull diamond equipment
