    Just bought a 50 pack bundle and a duos 'choice' pack ... hits for bundle? Tucker and ..... that's it. All the rest silvers and commons with about 5 golds. That I already had. And the duos pack-- an 83 OVR pitcher who's name escapes me-- THAT I ALREADY HAD 3 OF. Should have given one of you half what I paid and had you kick me in the nuts- basically would have been cheaper for what I received anyway.

    Wait...you're telling us you bought packs and didn't pull anything good? No... That's impossible. That truly is unbelievable. I am shaken to my core. Why would SDS do that to you? How am I supposed to get through the rest of this day knowing that packs are a waste of stubs?

    Seriously though... The fact that you got a single diamond card (Tucker) means you did better than most. Opening free packs in the game? Great.
    I played a single event game, earned a standard pack, and pulled Degrom. That was a nice little influx of unexpected stubs. Buying packs with stubs, especially standard packs? Waste of money 90% of the time. Do so at your own risk.

    Pack odds are 1:50 💎
    and 1:10 gold.

    So ... you nailed it!

    You gambled with a 75k stub purchase of 50 packs and at least you got a diamond but once again repeat after me.. packs are never worth it unless they are free. Buy the card you want off the market.

    So this is just in case a younger kid sees this because I know I wasn’t taught about statistics and how they actually work until college.

    So the odds for a diamond is 1 in 50.
    This in NO WAY means you will get a diamond if you open 50 packs.

    In this case, each pack you open is separate or INDEPENDENT from any other pack you open - so mathematically the odds are the same every pack - 1 in 50 CHANCE it will be diamond.

    Its pretty close to the same odds as you pulling the card you want out of a deck of standard playing cards - 1 in 52 -aka no way in hell unless yer Mel Gibson in that Maverick movie

    You see lots of posts where the person clearly thinks the odds are guaranteed or something - - it doesnt matter if you open 1 pack or 10,000 the odds are the same when you open the pack…1 in 50 - - a maverick’s chance in frozen hell. 🤓

    Maverick flipping that no-look ace of spades was awesome. Thanks for that reference

    Oh I am fully aware of this, and I appreciate you going into detail- because although I'm not a young kid (im going to be 46 in like 2 weeks and I haven't had statistics in Approximately 40 years or so...) it's good to know the analogy you made. Makes a lot more sense for the young in's.

    Yep. Case in point- those all star packs last year ... 30k or 40 k and 9 times out of ten you got a card worth 6000, maybe 10000... they are getting all NBA 2k with it
