We are probsbly talking the same thing and just misundersranding, I took a university probability course. And I didnt mean 1-4 gives you a payout forth try, i was refering to 3, and by fourth you should start seeing a payout. To simplfy, If you have a coin its 50-50 chance. On the third flip you should start to see it hit the side you called if first two missed, but yes random. So Sometimes not. But the longer the flip you will eventually get a distribution of 50-50, even if you had ten tails in a row at the beginning, over time the randomness succumbs to probability.

So the games I mentioned weren’t following that. And I did report it.

Personally I never pay into that stuff, I receive free tokens as a lure. But knowing enough about chance over time I started to make note of the odd behaviour.

As that article mentioned loot boxes term now encompasses both a single blind chance box, and those that represent odds.

So probably we are thinking different types of loot box scenarios.
