How likely is it for me to get a knife out of a case?

[retarred]

Title says it all. Really just wanna get a knife for cheap.

I must've opened 200-300 cases since I started playing ( not this account) and I got 2 reds out of it. A field tested Golden Coil and a field tested Bloodsport AK.

My inventory's top value was around 400 USD before I cashed out. I bought most of the skins.
If I evaluate roughly my spending in keys, it comes to about : 500-600 USD.

The math is not hard to do. Those keys gave me around 100USD worth of skins wich is almost good compared to other people. But ending up buying the skins I wanted on OPskins anyway.

My final inventory worth 400USD ended up costing about 800USD.

DONT OPEN CASES lol!

ok

There has been a few shows on radio 4 about the subject that are quite good if you are interested:

Quickly read it. IMO, They can easily be destructive if used exessievley (How do you spell that?) however, one from time to time can't be terrible.

I agree. Adults are free to spend there money how they like. The issue is we and Valve know kids play this and other games that use loot box's. Anybody who thinks the current age verification system works is straight up wrong and the age certification on games is voluntary. I see this as more of a problem for the parents. Its up to them to make sure they are happy with what there kids do. But can you imagine the outcry and backlash if a 12 year old kid was found in a betting shop placing a bet. It would be stopped straight away without question. However, in games its going unnoticed.

As an interesting side note. I don’t know if you are aware but Activision have patented a matchmaking system that matches players without good inventories with players who are better than them and have good loot in-order to use peer pressure. The system matches players with players who are statistically better than them but because people think match making is placing them in games with people who are at the same level as them they think it’s the loot that makes the difference and are then more likely to spend money on loot boxes for that chance to get an item that will make them win more. Activision say they don’t actually use the system and im not suggesting that Valve does anything like that but that’s the sort of thought processes that go on in some big developers and publishers.

A) I myself am not an Adult but I still try to be logical. B) (About Activision) Interesting.

About as likely as getting hit with a free falling midget, while cooking kraft dinner while camping in the center of Antarctica.

Cool its good that you are responsible but its better to be informed as well. Just be aware its not just a simple matter of products being offered that are fun. Methods and systems are used to influence the way we behave and how much we spend and most people are not aware of that and can get swept up in “one more $ and I will get the item I want”.

Good Point. Are you a smart cookie or do you have a job do do with phycology, you are getting really in-depth.

You are really unlucky. Sorry.

You're better of buying a knife directly off of bitskins (far cheaper compared to SCM knives or if you decide to try and unbox one), aka OPSkins but not shady

I'll try it. Wait... does it need Steam Mobile Guard or whatever?

It will eventually have a bot trade you an item so you will have to do some kind of confirmation most likely. I didn't have to use Steam Mobile Guard for my latest bitskins purchase but I also have had that all setup in the past so I'm not sure if something was already done for me.

You don't need steam guard if you're buying since it counts as you're being gifted (not giving the bot anything), however if you want to sell items on it, steam guard is required
