Glad you guys pay attention, the pack odds specifically state 50:1 for an 85 or better player item.
So no, they aren't stuffing packs with cheap banners so they don't have to give you players.
Then the 50:1 diamond player odds are just a flat out lie
Just because you don't understand how odds work doesn't make it a lie.

They're in the game to cater to obsessive collectors like me. One man's useless item is another man's inventory spot that must be filled before their OCD drives them mad! lol

Haha!! I feel your pain on this with OCD!!!
No matter how worthless or expensive, the slot must be filled to completion! -
I would love to see a rigorous statistical analysis on packs. I trust math more than someone who tells me they know the answer.

The problem is, it's almost impossible for one person to open a statistically significant amount of packs to make any informed opinion on them.
I will say last year at the end of 19, I opened 1000 headliners and pulled 99 diamonds, which is one diamond off the 1:10 stated odds, but even that is a drop in the bucket compared to how many packs get opened over a whole user base.

At what amount is an acceptable sample size to approximate the listed pack odds?
This was the reason I decided to record 10k packs. A small percentage of players would even open 1,000 packs in one title. That's opening a 50 pack bundle 20 times. So I figured 10x that amount couldn't be heavily disputed for an accurate measurement of pack odds.
So, what amount would people consider a fair sample size?

Those items are in slots that cannot give a player. So i wouldnt call them a waste. Always better to pull a diamond sponsorship over a silver. Or a diamond icon over a sliver. It isnt like we can pull a Trout there.

Explain it to everybody in full detail so we know. If you have a 2% chance to pull a diamond from each individual pack what you have an expected value of pulling one 2% of the time in the long run. Conversely what would the expected rate of pull actually be from 2% odds? If you could post back up you’re using with studies proving it that would be awesome. Would be a good read.

Unfortunately SDSs pack statistics will never be disclosed, making analysis impossible. The only entity that could implore them to show their statistics is the US government with a threat of an investigation ( which may come one day).
