Predicting the market
-
@LHUBison58_XBL Noted. I mean, it could even be super simple tips like "dont ever buy packs."
I wish buying packs made sense - like, if you had a 45 percent chance to come out ahead buying packs, I'd tell people "go for it, gambling is fun." But, yo - not even the most degenerate Vegas gambler would buy packs in this game - the odds are just soooo bad.

There used to be a guy that would post roster update predictions that were like 90% accurate. He did YouTube videos that were like an hour long and broke it all down further. He basically had solved their algorithm.
When he’d post on here to be helpful people would bash him every time for trying to manipulate cards he had. Literally millions of free stubs and people not only ignored him but hated on his threads like every thread. You could spend hours and hours giving your info on here and nothing will happen to it. You can give every ingredient for the recipe and people won’t cook a single thing.

@GoozeFn_PSN I make general statements to folks, and sharing generalities is good. But had I told everyone to buy up Spencer Strider’s card prior to the collection people would have driven the price up and looked to dump him right after the collection, which would have inflated the supply and killed the price. Instead I kept that tidbit to myself and a small group of other players and we feasted after the collection drop.
The old teach a man to fish proverb fits. So teaching “how” to make investment decisions and “when” to execute them is fine. Handing out fish does nothing for people and hurts us all.

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS He still exists.
-
@rubicante23_PSN But even that advice is faulty. I made over 150k off cityscapes 3 card packs. You just need to know what works and look at what the market is doing and bail early instead of late.
-
Makes me wonder. Did SDS have a hand in this bashing to run the guy off of here? Having alt accounts to post? Based on the vitriol we’ve seen this game cycle I don’t doubt anything.
I know for a fact that they have moles in TheShow groups that are on Discord. And I am not talking about the script groups. They don’t like people figuring out how to make stubs consistently. They don’t say that, but their actions show you what they think.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL I’ve never withheld anything like that in fear because most people don’t take the advice anyways.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I’ve seen it the other way. And frankly, the way people treated me over somethings earlier this year I don’t care to hand out stubs to the masses.
I will just keep dm’ing the same folks and go from there.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL I don’t blame you.
-
I will support SDS on one thing - trying to stop people from buying mass quantities of super-low valued cards or equipment just for flipping.
I support a human looking at the market and making a human decision to invest in this one card or that one (which always carries risk). I dont support algorithms and bots and hedging systems that are set up to churn away with no risk. Thats just an inflation-causing machine.
-
Yeah, the problem wasn’t the amount of cards. It was the bots, still is the bots, and will continue to be the bots. All the limit has done is take. The bots off of a small quantity of cards and spread them all over the market.
-
I don’t mind sharing. You gave me some tips last year. And they all definitely panned out. The one I distinctly remember was to buy as many Seiya Suzukis as possible and then “cash out”. I did and it worked perfectly.
@lhubison58_xbl is a good dude.
