 * "I know that luck is partly what keeps game companies alive."

Not quite. It's the law of large numbers that keeps them alive. They know that they will earn money in the end, because their parameters will eventually overcome every lucky streak of a player.

And it's the gambler's fallacy that keeps players buying boxes. At least that's what Gameloft hopes. And that's why WikiProject Statistics exists. It was made to help players make the right decisions&mdash;and see when it's futile to spend money for boxes that are more similar to a roulette wheel than to a real sourcce for badly needed cards.


 * "you mean I should keep the boxes un-opened for future use (MP4-25 revival perhaps?)t? I did spend a lot of CRE on X2, but now I know it's a trick. Should I PRO my MP4-31 instead? I am A-0-A-0 on the MP4-31."

That's what I always do. When I know I can't win an event, I use it for farming boxes and tokens. And I never open the boxes. Unopened boxes don't occupy space in your directory, and especially event boxes contain a guaranteed number of engines. It makes your inventory look kind of messy though.

As for the MP4-31: I don't use it for MP, but its last McLaren Legends race is one of the races with the highest output of Credits, ideal for farming. So yes, I would pro it, don't know what others think. You never know if Gameloft makes it an MP king at a lower tune some day.
