Your luck is like mine @slobberchops. Pretty dire. 😢

I opened 200 packs with 4 x 100% Potions, so 1000 cards. Legendary chances are 0.8% so with the 100% are 1.6% so for that number of cards I should have gotten 16. I actually got 14.

Chance of gold is 2% so I should have gotten 40. I got 36 so I'm short again. 😢

Taking into account the cost of the potions, and using the market value from Peak Monsters, I have made a loss of $107. 😱

And yet other people seem to consistently get GFLs in multiples out of much smaller numbers of packs.

I'm not sure I believe in bad luck in such things but the last time I bought a bunch 100 packs I had a similar experience. The golds and legendaries didn't make the potion minimums and I made a >$50 loss.

However, that loss may have already been wiped out with the rising cost of the cards.

By the way . . . if you decide to buy a bunch of packs again it's easier to do so with an alt account. That way you don't need to do a spreadsheet since all the cards will be in one place.

Also, you can get an affiliate repayment if you open it with a link from your main account.

Blimey, your worse than me! The thing is you cant even level up from 5 to 6 by doing this as there's still not enough cards.

That's a useful tip, thanks.

I think they will go up in value soon enough. I'm getting the hang of playing 3 games at once, you should try it by splitting the splinters on to 3 accounts. Great for max DEC!

Join a guild too, that way Orbs are cheaper. Mine are no longer 2500 DEC each.

Someone else said that to me a couple of days ago but I can't play 3 accounts at once. I tried it and failed miserably. 😂

I haven't got my head around that either.

I'm hoping to have some time to sit down with John today and go through the maths of the various options.

As I said in my recent post I think I'm going to move more towards investor with less playing. It just seems to get more and more complicated and I find it hard to keep up.
