Do you hate yourself after blowing a pile of stubs on packs and not pulling anything?
-
Ive learned from previous years to use the stubs early to buy players, work the market ect. I even card locked all my good diamonds to keep myself from selling them to buy packs. But ive blown about 90k worth of stubs in the past 24 hours and only pulled a matt chapman. I don't hate myself too much though, ive completed the AL and NL central and have over have the teams completed atleast.

You mean every time I buy packs? Yes I do

I had really good pack luck this year, skipped over 19 but the only diamonds I pulled in 18 were buster posey twice and alex bregman. This year ive pulled acuna, yellich, bregman, matt chapman, George springer, and the diamondbacks diamond.

I don’t buy packs

I hate myself for far more legitimate reasons.

It’s literally like gambling. You have to realize there is a risk you will lose everything, but the chance of a high reward. If you start ripping packs and expect to pull the highest priced diamonds, you’re gonna be very disappointed.

Sometimes. I pretty much have sold anything of value this year and have a solid war chest of 400k. But, if I get to like 430, I might buy a 20 pack to see what happens. If I get nothing I know I got some cards to fill towards collections. If I hit something I might buy more. But, don’t go lower than what I had anticipated. I made 50k above my original the other day on two 50 bundles. Most of the time I do not.

My pack luck on free packs has been good. Packs I buy? Not so much -
I learned after my first year playing The Show to never buy packs.
-
Ill buy a single pack here and there and get lucky..
Haven't bought a 50 Pack Bundle at all

Over the last three nights I pulled Arenado, Arenado, and Trout just last night. I've worked the market for the last three years to gain my cards, and I'm tired of it. Now I work the market to buy packs, and am really enjoying myself. LS is completed, and I've got about 350 in my pocket.

When I open a free pack and get 3 commons and a Bronze, it reminds me to never, ever bother to pay for them.
I love opening packs, but I will never pay stubs for them.
-
Nah I hate them and the fraud set up that are sports gaming packs but not myself. It’s just a game with not much to really need stubs for anyway.

It’s not anything at all like gambling. I feel like people that use this analogy don’t actually gamble or know how it works. The packs in this game are far worse than gambling. If gambling was like these packs Vegas would be shut down.
Just know if you open packs with stubs in this game after the first week you are 100% guaranteed to lose stubs. Stop buying them and make them change it.

I think it goes back to the physical pack opening of "real" baseball cards. Lots of gamblers in that realm.

Tried Headliner packs. Instant regret. Got one gold.

Can't say I've ever experienced this issue. Perhaps you need to buy better packs?

What do you do when you gamble? Let’s use a slot machine for instance. You’re putting money into a machine, trying for a chance to win more money. Now, opening packs. You’re buying packs with stubs, some people real money, for a chance to hit big on a diamond card like Trout, Bellinger, Cole, Arenado. So saying opening packs isn’t like gambling is very ignorant. You must not gamble that much lmao

I gamble a lot and you don’t understand it. You couldn’t find a casino open that pays you the payout for odds these packs do. Find a casino that’s open that pays you 10-15% of your money back 90% of the time and gives you 80% of your money back 9% of the time and pays you 5 times your money 99% of 1% of the time. and anybody who pulls packs know they don’t perform even at those posted rates. You won’t find it.
