Why is everyone shocked there have been no red autos? Odds are like 1 per 26 jumbo cases I believe. Much worse on regular if I'm not mistaken.

....well we've opened 25 jumbo and 25 hobby so we should've hit one by now.

When I ran the numbers I came up with 1 red auto expected in the 100 cases. I posted this in the thread in the hobby talk forum prior to the break in response to people justifying the prices of the auto slots based on the chances of hitting a red auto.

Tallying the first 50 and toploading the last 1000 cards or so...

Will open SOME tonight, but will start again in earnest tomorrow.

Reds are 1 per 160ish hobby cases. 1 per 26 or so jumbo. Why should one have been hit?

....well because of those odds you just stated. Clearly odds would suggest that we should've hit one by now. Not sure why you think otherwise?

Not sure if this was in response to me saying it is crazy that we have yet to hit a purple-super auto so far, but if it is, the odds show that 1 of them should have been hit.

1 per 126 hobby cases....... 25 hobby cases opened (not expecting red)
1 in 26 HTA cases.............. 25 HTA cases opened (not expecting red, but close)

Ok in simpler terms:
~0.2 reds should've been hit in the hobby cases
~0.96 reds should've been hit in the jumbo cases

So overall ~1.16 reds should've been hit. So yes I'm slightly surprised we haven't hit one.

Um....

You have not had 160 Hobby cases opened. Nor have 26 jumbo cases been opened.

I know its been mentioned before but it seems people throw odds out the window and simply see 100 cases and think the odds do not apply. These first 50 cases have been a harsh reality to many.

To be very clear this is no reflection on the breaker. Its simply the odds.

I dont believe you want to add those together.

So that obviously means a red auto will be pulled in the next jumbo case right?

There's a 4% chance.

No point in arguing. We are doing odds and averages. Division, not addition. You cannot add up the regular and jumbo and create the number you did. It is not proper mathematics.

The jumbo is due to hit a Red(one case 26 is opened), but that certainly is no sure thing. Based on odds you could do this 100 case break 3 times and not see a Red from Hobby.

I'm really confused on why you don't think we should've hit one by now? Obviously simply opening 25jumbos and 25 hobby cases doesn't guarantee a red auto, but it certainly suggest one should've been pulled.

I think what everyone is forgetting about the collation... Is Topps is in charge of it. All bets are off IMO when that happens.

100% chance it's Wendell Rijo. You're crazy if you argue with those odds. It's clear as day.

Well you can add when you convert the numbers into red autos:

1 red auto/26 jumbo cases x25 jumbo cases= 0.96 red autos

Do the same with the hobby cases.

Unless I'm having a huge brain fart, I see no issue with this logic.
