    I buy 50 packs and get NOTHING. A buddy buys 10 and pulls 4 diamonds. FU all.

    Isnt that the definition of the opposite of ripoff? So you are saying you know of 4 diamond pulls in 60 packs?! That is GREAT odds.

    I actually prefer the word fraudulent but scam is used a lot when talking about odds. Fraudulent will probably be the word that is used in public when it all comes to a head.

    "Fraudulent" is a legal term that doesn't in any way apply here. Keep using it and you might get your very own cease-and-desist letter.

    I once pulled bellinger twice in 20 minutes, along with several other diamonds. It was awesome

    Nice threat. Doesn’t bother me.

    I’m just trying to come up with a close term for it. Unethical business practices is what the politicians use but I just feel it will be a different word used when the flood gates open.

    This is a hilarious post. Why do you think you’re entitled to diamonds? All you’re entitled to 1 in 50 odds of getting a diamond in any one standard pack. You’re gambling with packs and sometimes you lose. That’s how it goes.

    It’s a lot simpler than that, though. It’s not an unethical business practice. It’s just plain old-fashioned gambling. Nothing more, nothing less. The only way SDS is doing anything “unethical” is if the packs are programmed with odds different from the clearly stated odds we all can see.

    The vast majority of the cards in the game come from packs. Sure, some lucky shfooyadell might get Trout as a post-game reward or as a daily login bonus. But the rest come from packs. So it’s obvious the packs are serving up a ton of diamonds. There’s no shortage of high diamonds in the market or on people’s teams. They’re out there in packs.... just not your packs (or mine either, unfortunately).

    I don’t get why people think there’s something nefarious going on. It’s just gambling, and, as we all know, “the house always wins.” Of course, people are still willing to gamble because maybe they’ll get lucky just this once ...

    Those “ethical” business politicians did their part, no further change or flood gate is coming , all games have to provide odds on loot boxes which they now do. If you want to take a run at SDS talk about how they doubled the odds when they needed to post them publicly. Your problem is handled with a help line, not legislation.

    Lol I feel like I’m talking to people who don’t look anything up and just assume they know everything. The big countries haven’t even really got going on it. 2k doesn’t state their odds they just stopped the auction house in those countries smaller markets. Once it gets literally classified as gambling you will see what happens. Fifa is dealing with that one right now.

    I hate these posts, honestly. Go back to school, take math, make sure you do probabilities, then when you actually have a better understanding of how odds work, come back and delete this stupid post.

    Wow. I would definitely buy another 50 pack. Your luck has to turn around eventually.
