50 packs and not a single diamond

This is a key reason to NEVER buy packs from the shop, just go with the free ones SDS hands out, soon enough they will start handing them out like candy not that they aren't already.
Hope you feel better soon

Here we go again. Another person who doesn't understand odds.

Oh, and did I mention I’m recovering from COVID? Yeah it’s been a lousy week.
Sure beats the alternative though right?

Could be worse. He could be an Angel's fan
Or a « right way » obnoxious Cards fan

Yeah, such a gamble. I've pulled 3 diamonds in 15 packs and 0 in 61.
Each pack has same odds every time, so when you get shut out, it's just bad luck.

Shoulda bought Elden Ring.

This right here is the play to make. Greatest game ever made.

My son has it. I haven’t touched it. Outside of MLB, my game is Train Sim World 2.

Hey thanks for the tip on the Train Sim. I checked it out and I like stuff like this so I'm going to pick it up.

Sorry about the bad luck. That's not how the math works, though. You have a 2% chance to pull a diamond every single pack, and the odds aren't compound. So it wouldn't be unusual to go hundreds of packs without pulling one. It's never smart to buy them.

Yeah I guess I learned that lesson the hard way.

Earlier in the cycle after I had locked in the LS, I bought a bunch of 50 packs when opening stuff was still fun and prices were better. I had a string of ridiculous luck, all NMS. Now, though, it's early prep for the next big collection.

At least now you know and knowing is half the battle..

Call me just a little disappointed. I was given a PlayStation gift card for Father’s Day and I decided to buy 50 packs and hopefully come up with a diamond. Not one. Not even the chase pack. I’ve run into that before with the chase pack. But 50 packs and no diamonds? Thanks for a great Father’s Day SDS. I’m not one to usually complain a lot but I am very very bummed. I know there’s a risk in buying a few packs. And I know there’s a risk with the chase packs. But the odds say if you buy 50 packs you should at least come up with one. But I didn’t come up with one. Not a single one. I know I won’t get a lot of sympathy in the forum but I really don’t care.
Regardless of what everyone else has said, I feel your pain! I haven’t bought any packs but save up my packs to open all at once and have gotten a few diamonds
- by a few I mean literally a few.Compared to last year, diamonds are NOT being pulled as much. I got lucky to pull Vladdy and Trea Turner. But it’s disappointing when you open a lot of packs- bought or free and you pull commons and bronzes from continually.
I don’t care what the odds are and the gambling, etc. It stinks!

I've looked at that one before but never played it. I have put a ton of time into Euro and American Truck sim on the PC.
