should i invest in unboxing

Recommended Posts

in the past 2 days I have seen people posting screenshots of them obtaining unusuals through unbox and not lousy unusuals too.

I was wondering if I should unbox too especially since the unbox luck seems to be higher recently.

Don't fall for this unless you have hard numbers.

People don't unbox for profit. Its very rare to make profit off of unboxing. People unbox for the same reason why they gamble at casinos. A better option would be to take the keys you were to spend unboxing junk and use it to help out your trading.

I was thinking about doing the same...again..but I chose not to, but maybe if you wanna risk like 5 keys, go right ahead. Id unbox when a new crate comes out, not right now

The difference between unboxing and gambling at a casino is that you can actually win at the casino

It seems unboxing is a really bad choice

Why when a new crate comes out? Higher chance of getting an unusual, or is it just whatever that is in the new crate would be highly priced

The latter one i.e. the unboxed junk from new crates can be sold for a good sum. So, the chances of loss are lower.

You mean the amount you will lose is lower ;)

It's called survivor bias. No one posts about opening 100 crates with no unusual. Grand majority of unboxing posts will be those who unbox an unusual.

No this is how it always is, just most people aren't lucky enough to actually GET an unusual.

I've only ever gotten one unusual from unboxing (and one really high-tier strange), and I've been unboxing off and on since unboxing was a thing.

 

Do not unbox as an investment. Instead, it should be treated the same way as a scratch or lottery ticket: Expect that money to be wasted, but bask in the pleasant surprise when you get something good.

not necessarily, depends on how fast you get in on it

If you want to invest, buy lots pallet of crates, give to friends and use them altogether in a server, when new cases released.

 

Even though I didn't get any unusual, my goal at the moment is unboxing most strange weapons as the sole owner.

Which is pure luck. I've seen people unbox 300 crates and not get a single unusual. Even if you do, it probably won't be enough to get your money back.

 

He also has probably been unboxing for a while, he might not even of broke even.
