I've been disappointed by the way certain TCG companies in this space have operated (not rewarding core users, poor restocks, bad customer service)
So I decided to try @BONKUJI_inu after seeing they had som of the highest EV in the space (shoutout to @SlabsOTC for the alpha)
I ended up pulling this insane Greninja from their $100 pack and sold it back for 88% FMV
I also tried their $20 sealed pack gacha and there was an option to rip the sealed pack (which i thought was really sick)
I'll probably be ripping packs over there more and I'm open to testing out other platforms that are innovative like this one.

This site is good for actual analytics (hats off to @SlabsOTC) slabsotc.xyz/gacha
Gross EV is a good indicator. Agreed most of the labeling on those sites isn't great, however nearly $57 on CC has almost always been a good experience for me.
I ran the numbers during the original airdrop and I was up ~15% on my pack openings, but also pulled some nice hits that appreciated during the time I held them on the platform, like a '96 Zard that's up nearly 10k since I got it

The best place to check info about odds is on @SlabsOTC slabsotc.xyz/gacha
CC is amazing and I have nothing but good things to say about them but we do offer better gross EV (essentially % you lose if you play and sell back)

Our Route One pack has the best EV on the market right now according to @SlabsOTC.

Some borrowers may not intend to repay, treat every loan as a potential collateral acquisition, not just a yield opportunity.

If you sort @SlabsOTC website by EV, u will see magic eden, CC, Slabz on top.
But the real metrics that matters is GROSS EV. That is the ACTUAL % user get net of buybacks.
Its not hard to see who is on top 🫶
.@gacha_game_ quietly rolled out 95% buybacks for almost all of their packs, putting up insanely high Gross EVs across the board
Pokemon $30 -> +4.5% GEV
Pokemon $42 -> +2.6% GEV
Pokemon $25 -> +1.6% GEV
Don't know how long it will last but hey
Rip packs while EVs high ✌️

Yeah we basically sold out, 300+ packs in a very short time 😭

This is a super interesting tool for those that are E.V maximalists ripping Pokemon gachas rn.
Coincidentally, it is also why I have been ripping mainly on DYLI (NB: I prefer to filter by Gross EV, since that takes into account buybacks.)
If you don't use buybacks - and there are situations where that would be sensible - then other filters may suit you better.
Replying to @lappelduvideeth
I know this because I have utilised them, and had them utilised against me, on numerous occasions.
I also know that the Venn diagram of people that use Pokémon gachas and the people who are hyper-sensitive to E.V has a very small overlap, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised!
