    Unless you're filthy rich or have more money than sense, I would highly recommend not spending any gold on these events, regardless of where that gold came from.

    If you must spend gold for imaginary items, you're way better off spending gold on limited edition units or crates because if you spend gold on these events, it's a statistical certainty that you will eventually waste a ton of money for absolutely nothing, and I mean everyone (yes that means you and you).

    Like any gambling event, the odds are always in favor of the house. You may win in the short run, but if you keep doing it, you're going to lose.

    I doubt the odds have changed much over the span of these events. They may have slighly fiddled with the percentages from game-to-game, but the "feeling" of variances that people report over any single event aren't really conducive to what the real percentages may be.

    Bottom line, don't spend gold on events; it's a stupid bet.

If you're at 7-8 I'd say forget it and save your gold for a composites factory or something useful like units or crates

    2x warheads
    2x $250,000
    1x $1.25 mil
    2x 500 valor
    1x squadron leader
    1x armed lookout

    Doing terrible this event...

    @possum, well written post, I agree completely. I'd say it takes a hand on the stove to feel the consequences though, and burned hands there were plenty of last few events. Players have learned...

    Still sitting on 9 warheads. I would like to know the odds of success once you reach this point. 8 blanks in a row now with 21 boxes on hand. What are my chances? Based on the last event I don't like my chances, but we'll see how it goes...

    Based on my experience its is zero. Expect alot of misses,unless youre spending gold ,valor points, random units and $$$$$.

    Up to 7 now. Have yet to buy gold for this game and dont intend to. Im skeptical to say the least about my chances at opening 3 more cases in 4 days after opening 7 in 1.

    At last we get the lower level indestructible units as well as the points to buy valor units.

    I should figure out how much cash Ive spent on the units Ive gotten so far and see if the ROI is worth the 'effort'.

    Sitting on 9 with 4 days to go is frickin awesome. It's all luck with lil bit of effort from now on. If it is meant to be, it's meant to be
    A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT

    10 warheads = Covert Jet Fighter. Done deal. Next? What do I do with the 22 extra boxes?

    I must say, I was pretty pessimistic after the last event fiasco, but can verify that this one can be done. I had a tougher time getting to 8 & 9 than I did 10, only 9 tries to get the last one. It does certainly seem that your odds do go down the closer you get to #10 though. It will be interesting to see how fast the energy meter fills up now...

    I also think I will donate my remaining 22 boxes to charity...

    Congrats Rusty! Did you use gold or just straight coins?
