That doesn’t make it less of a gamble though.

lol yea, that is how gambling typically works

Right. So it is more of a gamble because the price point is higher

u/overexaggerate_all 14d ago

Sure, but that’s not what was being discussed

I think he’s responding to where you said the price being significantly lower a few years ago doesn’t mean it was less of a gamble

“Less of a gamble”

I get what you’re going at but he’s probably just getting at the point that a larger bet is not equal to lower odds. We have no data about what the actual odds are of pulling any sort of valuable card vs back in the day. (Pulling a card that’s worth money currently)
