Tootle Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Hey guys. If you buy 100 joker boxes each with a 1% chance of getting a legendary. Don't you have a 100% chance of getting at least one legendary?

KnifuWaifu Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Yes. The total is 100% - spread over 100 boxes = 1% per box.
Hexerin Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 If the JMBs were implemented in a way that was less anti-consumer, they would have a system that ensures that, yes. However, the JMBs are as anti-consumer as you can be, and have no such systems that prevent infinite loss.
vsb Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 no, each box has a 1% chance that's unaffected by other boxes to think of it another way, you aren't guaranteed to get one heads and one tails every 2 times you flip a coin
McL Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 63,4% chance to get a legendary in 100 boxes (1- (0,99^100)) :) 2

ezmegaz68 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I swear matt posted the exact % somewhere but I can't find it but no, you won't have a 100% chance if you open 100 of them Edited February 18, 2020 by ezmegaz68

NotZombieBiscuit Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 This is why casinos earn so much money.
GhosT Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Your chance is still only 1%. Per box. It doesn't magically multiply because you buy more. You just buy multiple 1% chances.

Zolerox Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 There is 1 game that does it that way, apb isn't one of them Warface!, Every "box" you buy actually increases your chance by 1% after 100 boxes you get 100% chance to win a gun. (apb does nothing like that however) "If the Warbox has a Gold weapon as a possible reward, you will be guaranteed to obtain the Gold weapon after opening 1000 Warboxes of that weapon if you did not obtain it yet. The amount of boxes you opened is stored in your account." It used to be 100 than the "greedy" new company took over and made it worse... but yeah same idea each box would increase your chances.
