    @Sandpipers very well said! I would guess that the overall odds would be close enough (with margin of error) to what's advertised. In the world of statistics and numbers, extremes and outliers do happen. 

    There are some things I've come to notice over time though that could be issues with the RNG algorithm they're implemented, but the most concerning thing I've seen yet is the duplication of players like we'd discussed over the weekend. A lot of people are pulling many duplicates within a small range (ie, the several people just on this forum that reported getting 3 or more duplicates when opening only 10 boxes.

    I also have come to believe that there is definitely a "mercy rule" in place. However, you must buy the boxes over and over without exiting for this to occur. This might be some crazy conspiracy theory, but I've noticed I will pull good players if I just hammer the box over and over. If I open a few, then exit out and come back and open only a few more later, then exit out and come back and open only a few more later... well, that's when I have seemed to experience the horrible 0 for 40, 50 or 60 (or 0 for 120 in GG Perez case).

    I think something that doesn't help is all the times that someone posts a screen shot of their amazing pull. Makes it seem like it happens all the time. Not saying we should stop doing that but it's something to mention.

    It's the same way the lottery works. We ALWAYS hear the stories of the occasional winner. Make a big deal of it. Never hear about the millions of people who play and lose.

    I have probably won WOH 100 times by now and have done pretty crappy on the boxes. At this point I go into it with that expectation so I'm not AS disappointed. My personal choice is that I won't compound the issue by actually giving Glu real money or gold just so they can shaft me even more and affect me beyond the game.

    As they say in Vegas, only gamble what you're willing to lose.

    I have 275 cycles since Black Friday now and haven't gotten a top 2 player out of the box.

    I opened the Odor achievement box today and got Odor. It’s not the first time something like that has happened. On the other hand I opened a bunch of Comeback boxes over the weekend and got Bautista 3 times.

    Here is one that basically tops everything here. This is literally not a believable story...

    Pulled 700 gold from my “Moment” pick today. That’s 3/1000. Watched video for a 2nd “Moment” pick... 700 gold again! That’s a 9 in a million shot. Their lazy algorithms giveth and they taketh away.

    Nice to hear this side of the story even if it is once in a blue moon :)
    It's all done with mirrors

    In regards to this dodgers weekend, I pulled Freese three times in 9 total boxes. 
    Back during the first rivalry box, I bought 7 boxes and pulled the same prime Correa (Houston vs Oakland version) four times, which I found ridiculous. I was actually somewhat annoyed with getting the so-called 1.5% in 4-7 boxes.
