I'm just curious because I have two teams and have played for over three months, yet I have never picked the card with the gold. 90% of the time it is cash or maybe a 25pt trophy.
I have to believe these picks are predetermined with an algorithm and it is just another tease by Glu dangling gold out there that you will never get. Anyone else had any success picking the gold card? or how frequently.

Thanks for the feedback!! Yeah, I don't have enough gold to buy an elite player, I've heard can take any where from 15-30k of gold....
Think about the collection rookie player card. I have never missed picking the rookie, which just means that it doesn't matter what card I click, I will get that rookie player. The result is already predetermined.
Hey that is a very good idea, smart guy!!! Ironically, i just hit my first 200 gold today. Squeaky wheel......
yes the rookie card is predetermined for sure.
I guess it's my lucky week. 500 on Monday and 100 today. 2/41 now
I use this very same method (picking the same card each day and I also just so happen to always pick the card to the right/the third one). I have won gold few times (300 and 500, I think). I also pay pretty close attention to what's revealed under the other cards when I select and (just from my experience) there seems to be a higher likelihood of getting the gold payouts by picking the card to the far left. This almost seems to change from Collection to Collection, but that left card tends to have the more consistent gold payouts (but also some of the ****pier "non-gold" offerings). Nothing scientific to prove that theory, just something I've noticed. Sad part (despite noticing this) I continue to always pick the card to the far right. Not totally sure why, but I think it's because I'm afraid that as soon as I change my tactic, my so called "system" will completely change on me.
Additionally, for those interested, I did spend gold this weekend to get the Collection Player Bumgarner (first time ever spending Gold on a Collection Player). Figured it would take me about 15k to do so but ended up taking a little over 20k (+ whatever Gold I won from the collection, which I estimate probably about 1k). I DID NOT use the "one card" method when doing this, though (figured there's just too much randomness to rely on one card all of the way through). I did pick the right/last card the highest percentage of the time, followed by the left/first card and very rarely selected the middle (although I did end up getting the last 25 points I needed from the middle card). No idea if I spent more gold or saved more by not using the "one card" method, but figure you're going to spend the same amount either way.
I will say, though, I could never seem to "hit" on the 700 Gold, though. Not too sure how "possible" that on is.
The cards are already decided by the time you get to that screen. I havent seen anything to believe they arnt 100% randomly sorted. I use third card exclusively and the gold hit rate is probably between 1:40 to 1:60. I did 100 gold tonight.
Thanks for the info guys.. I have been selecting the middle card for over three week with poor results, meaning 5k 10k cash or franchise coins. If I'm really lucky I'll hit a bronze trophy. So I think I'll try the third card, although I'm convienced I t is predetermined. Gold is just a teaser.
The server has already provided the data for the prize and card placement, just as it has before you click on the mystery boxes. You can actually see this with mystery boxes...before you click to open the box weather free or paying with gold, keep your eye on your cash amount at top screen. If you are going to win a cash amount, you will see this post a quarter second BEFORE you even get to the screen with the jiggling box.
