    I still believe that there a certain times more diamonds are pulled…at least in regards to standard packs. I would assume the same for Headliner Choice. Anytime there is a stub sale I pull more diamonds.

    My completely unfounded theory is large amounts of diamonds are in packs during this time, which causes people to buy more stubs and profit SDS more. This then balances out the numbers from other times of the year and the stated odds are accurate. I also think it applies right after launch as there are probably more stubs purchased at that time than any other time during the year.

    Exactly what would you sue them for?
    You said you dont buy stubs and the packs you opened were rewards from completing content.

    1:3 odds doesn't mean that 1 out of every 3 you buy will contain a Diamond. It means that 1 out of every 3 SOLD should contain a Diamond.

    You may buy 3 packs back-to-back-back; but if 1000's of other people are buying them at the same time......

    I was told there would be no math.

    No, I've bought every choice pack this year, but have never paid for stubs. People do, and do buy stubs to afford the costs of that. Also, I would say somewhere down the line the flipped cards I used were paid for by someone. That's still money.

    Not arguing for a suit, or saying there is a wrongdoing, but my individual experience does not reflect their advertised "odds" which involve transactions with an in-game monetized currency.

    Again moreso - is there actually data to support they are actually providing 1:3/1:3 Diamonds? If not they are advertising that and even a fraction off could be taking money from actual people out there.

    I really, really don't understand why so many people are so behind a multibillion dollar company that could easily provide the data.

    I care for the people who work there, but if it could be no people and all profit, the board would make that decision in a second. I'm lost in why if an algorithm that might be taking money from people is a good thing to defend.

    (full disclosure - I have bought and some sold shares of SONY - and have made a minor profit, but wouldn't defend any company even ones I still own.

    It's foolish because the capitalist system we live in dictates that you all only matter as far as your contribution to the overall profit of these companies. If a .011 difference could make a difference in monetization albeit harming people with little chance of repercussion its worth it.

    Sacklers are living high as billionaires after knowingly their choices killed people... absolutely no admission of guilt although their company was guilty of felonies. Greed is good!)

    Oh my!!! Yet another "I'm going to get a lawyer because of pack odds" post!!!

    Not a single other person has ever brought a lawsuit...or even found a lawyer who would entertain the idea of bringing a lawsuit over pack odds...I wonder why?

    Oh, it's because it would be a frivolous lawsuit that has a 0% chance of winning and not worth their time. That is even with them charging you money for their time, all the lawyers would rather spend their time on lawsuits that aren't frivolous and are worth the time and effort to litigate!

    Odds of finding a lawyer to litigate pack odds is worse than the odds of pulling Trout from a standard Show pack!!!

    again pulled trout twice so those odds are better 17/18.

    Most attorneys don't give a [censored] about chance of winning, it's about who is paying. Attorneys don't really benefit in the outcome just how much they're paid.

    Look at all the election lawsuits over 2020 general... none stood a chance. 80+ suits and those hundreds if not thousands of attorneys had no problems although they knew it was a waste of time. Lol in fact, discovery in most of those cases proved the other side was committing election fraud, so they hurt their clients and went home with a nice pretty check.

    You've pulled a Trout twice? Out of the hundreds (I may have even reached a thousand) of packs I've opened, I haven't seen Trout. And because his price is so high, I'd bet there are a lot of others in the same boat as me. I'd say you have good pack luck.

    Not this season though - in 17 and 18 game got him. I wish I got him here. But I was amazed I got him early one of those seasons. The other was when 50 packs went to 50k, so I dunno if I was already 200 packs to 300 packs in at that point.

    Otherwise, I played from like 08-19 and took a break until this year - so maybe luck isn't that great. But got a Tatis early on this year which was probably the best pull I've gotten.
