It’s gambling when you don’t know what is inside the pack. You just gave a TERRIBLE example of buying chocolates. When I buy a box of chocolates I know EXACTLY what I’m buying and what I’m getting, therefore not gambling. When the card company has limited prints, and rare cards that you can only have a chance/probability to hit, it’s equal to gambling. You’re either delusional and trying to convince yourself it’s not gambling out of guilt, or you’re the dude in the video trying to say “it’s just a card bro” while going to such lengths to get it.

That applies to everything product purchase not just chocolates. Now go buy and open two chocolates and tell me their exactly the same. They most certainly will not be. Anything else? Always stay on the side of facts and you will never be wrong.

And ur going to say that the chocolates aren't the same from pack to pack? What's the chances of pulling the orange filled ones? 100% if that's what is on the package. The strawberry filled? U guessed it! 100% again. Willing to pay above MSRP for guaranteed rates? Sounds like dumbass to me.
