  • ZERO!

    For the third time out of the last 4 10packs I won icon_eek.gif What are the odds of that happening if the advertised drop rates were actually right? Any mathematicians around here? icon_lol.gif

    If you can post the listed odds I can happily calculate it for you. I can't access my phone atm.

    I have the exact odds at work, but I remember its around a 10-15% chance that you won't get any golds. It's higher than I think most people think it is.

    True, but across 4 packs that's a bit lower.

    Of course, the odds for an individual 10 pack after 3 failed 10 packs remains unchanged because odds don't care about past occurrences or patterns, but across all 4 you can still calculate the odds to be a bit lower than the odds of a single 10 pack.

    My two were MoStorm black and yellow Goddess of Thunder. Selling that new parody of a character to make room for the Goddess.

    I am sad. Zero 3*s or 4*s makes me sad.

    The chance of getting zero gold covers in a Heroic 10-pack is 9.7%.* I calculated that here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=20214
    Therefore, the chances of choosing four 10-packs at random and finding exactly three of them devoid of gold is (.097)^3 * .903 * 4, which comes out to approximately 0.33%. Keep in mind that this number only applies before looking at any of the packs--if you've whiffed on two out of the last three packs, the chances that you'll whiff again are 9.7%

    As it turns out, I'm in the same boat as you. I got zero in my pack from Seasons VII, VIII, and X. I did get four in my Season IX pack, but even so, that's just an average of one per pack, when the expected value is 2.1. Yuck.

    * As I typed this, I realized that I didn't check to see if the odds for Season X were the same as Season IX, but it's almost 4am, so I'm not pulling it up now. Kitty it.
  • Yellow Sentry and the rest 2*... second season in a row with only one gold and for a character I had no covers for before. Not sure if that's better or worse then no golds at all, cause now he's taking up roster space...
  • My string of exceptional luck with the 10 packs seems to be over.

    This season I pulled:

    4* Thor - Yellow
    3* Luke Cage - Red

    ** Star Characters

    2 x Moonstone - Red
    2x Magneto - Red
    Magneto - Purple
    2 x Hawkeye - Blue
    Johnny Storm - Black

    I can use both of the gold tokens. My first 4* Thor is her weakest cover, I'm not sure I'll keep her

    Can confirm this post is correct.
