Buying Packs! What a Rip-off!!!!!
-
Almost every regular on this forum would have warned you not to waste your stubs.
Packs are gambling with your stubs, pure and simple. And just like in Vegas, the odds are always in the house's (SDS) favor.

Thanks

In others news water is wet

Putting 'Live' series cards in Chase - ACHES packs for me so far - packs is just evil.
I was dumb enough to blow 75K to try to get Elly.
I got at least 2 'lives,' that I already had. One was Will Smith again. 'Welcome to earth,' as I got punched in the face, lol. -
I got Diaz elly Goldschmidt and a few 85s. I love these crooks right now
-
I gave a 50 pack bundle a go hoping to pull Elly too. I ended up pulling 2 golds out of the 50 packs and Arenado from the chase pack.
But I've also pulled Ohtani, Betts and Arenado (when he was expensive) this year.
Win some lose some

I figured I’d take a chance to get Elly De La Cruz from a pack but you people are such crooks!! I should’ve known better! Like an idiot I spent enough all my stubs over a million trying to get him where I could’ve just bought him on the marketplace. It will never happen again!!! I have enough Will Smiths, Clayton Kershaw’s, Felix Bautista’s to last a lifetime! You guys have a great racket here! It’s like trying to win the lottery!! I will never buy a pack again! I have gotten screwed every time I try!!! Good advice to all of you out there go to the marketplace to buy your players and stay away from stubs or you’ll lose them all.. crooks!!!!!!
You spent a million stubs on chase packs when the card is 500k to buy outright?
You’d be a horrible “Let’s Make a Deal” contestant.

Lesson #1: buy players off the market, do not buy packs. You learned the hard way like we all did at some point.

I went on tilt bro just buying Packs lol

I did that last year trying to get one of them. I had a ton of stubs so it wasn’t probably as painful, but I kept saying “I have to get him if I buy another”……yeah, I never pulled him and probably could have bought the card twice by the time I raised the white flag.
Never again.

must be your first year.. everyone gets the introductory pack burn to learn

Pack gods have been good to me this year, 2 early Trout pulls before his value fell, and just nabbed Mookie and Incog Eric Davis int he last few days

This was me in 18. There were so many packs with cards that went for so much, Monthly Awards, the Collection sets where you had to get the equipment, all the souvenirs, and a lot more I know I'm forgetting. It was my first year so I stupidly would blow stubs on packs, it seemed like the next diamond was always in the next pack.
Luckily I wised up for 19.
-
If you have a specific player in mind, always buy off the marketplace, never packs!
Always! Always! Always!

I didn’t get what I wanted when I gambled so now I am going to cry and blame others.

A fool and his money are easily parted. If you thought spending over a million stubs for a chance to get a card selling for under 600k was a good idea, then you're beyond help.

I just opened 87 packs I received from Conquest, TA, and the Season 3 program and pulled 2 LS
. Kyle Tucker & Josh Hader. I'd have been angry if I had paid for them but since they were basically free, oh well. Would have like to pull EDC buy I guess I'll just have to wait since his FS card isn't good enough to use as my WC.
Maybe I'll get him in the next pack huh LOL -
I buy some cheap packs to guarantee a diamond. The 10k draft packs like that are all I would do.
So many people complain about packs. It’s gambling. Do you complain this much in Vegas?
