Booty flash sale
-
@chuckclc_MLBTS I have a decent amount of stubs but I'm just scared they won't go up bc the season is ending and that's a lot of stubs to tie up
-
@Wildthingwilly_MLBTS Its been this way for years. They will at least profit 20-25K min if you git them for 64-66k. Might be too late now, not sure
-
@chuckclc_MLBTS I bought a couple didn't want to tie up like 500k on it though
-
@Wildthingwilly_MLBTS I fell ya. Im trying to flip some cards for the next flash sell lo. Im low on stubs

@Wildthingwilly_MLBTS said in Booty flash sale:
@Pergo_PSN the arguement of you get "something" is the arguement all of these companies use. If I play blackjack the casino has about a 2% edge if I play perfect basic strategy. Obviously there is variance so in a small sample size you can lose worse, but if you could theoretically play enough hands you should lose about 2% of your money. However mlb the show has odds of typically 1:5 for the expensive cards in packs, and that chance typically doubles your stubs. However 80% of the time you will lose 75% of your stubs, which will give you a worse return of investment on average than a casino even though you get "something" in return
Like I said, buying packs is never really a wise use of stubs.
-
@chuckclc_MLBTS I have 600k rn basically broke even after getting shafted by the vault packs. I never opened them and now I know why haha
-
@Pergo_PSN like I said, it's gambling. They disguise it by giving you "something"
-
Wait, buying packs resulted in loss of stubs?
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN my point isn't a loss of stubs, my point is the odds are worse than winning in a casino in a game rated E for everyone.
-
@Wildthingwilly_MLBTS I remember reading a comment the other day, not from you, but person was asking how some users accumulate millions of stubs when he has never been able to have more than 30k at a time. Buying packs is probably the cause. I work the market whenever I know the majority of user base will be ripping packs and quick selling cards at a loss. I buy up their garbage and then list for a reasonable profit and then buy the cards they were striving for. The lottery in, real life, and buying cards/ stubs is just an added tax for dumb people. Avoid the temptation.

@theBlindRhino_PSN I have 600k, I've played mlbts forever, but I feel like they need to be called out on just how bad the odds are. Madden plays more like a lottery, but that's known and they usually have exact percentages as to what ovrs you can pull. There are no 1 million stub cards in mlb so they are awful. Also my main problem is their super vague pack odds percentages that sometimes mean nothing.
-
@Wildthingwilly_MLBTS An individual buying cards should never rely on pack odds. It's luck. If the odds are 5 high tier packs out of 100 packs and I buy 5 packs and get all high tier and you buy 95 that are all low tier than technically SDS listed the correct odds. I don't trust luck and I have 3 million in stubs.
-
@Wildthingwilly_MLBTS you seeing Adleys Price now? I got 2 Aaron Judges for 28k. Out of stubs. He will be a nice profit
-
[censored], I saw the first two packs available and I wasn't interested. Just found out that one them were free. I would have been interested if I had known that. lol
-
Will the prices in S1 cards go up (theoretically?) once S2 drops? Just pulled a couple dupes and wondering if I should hold til S2…thanx.
-
@OlSkoolE63_MLBTS probably not because you can only use them in single player or co-op. Most of the card dropped off last year
-
@Pergo_PSN this was the defense game companies use in court.
-
When are flash sales not booty? It’s at a little discount and SDS expects more people to buy it because it’s a ‘sale.’ It’s just a way for them to get more stubs from you. They probably make more money off the flash sales than regular packs.
I never understand why people complain about being ripped off though, it’s like going to a casino and then complaining they didn’t give you a royal flush. It’s a suckers bet
-
It's a good way for people who were online at the time to make a lot of stubs. Or get tons of cheap cards. Flash sales are great
