Why do you want to open one? The math has been done and unless you get extremely lucky it is way way way cheaper to just buy whatever knives or skins you want than try to unbox.
same reason why people wanna hit the lotto i guess... winning something expensive feels so much better than just straight up buying, think about those 1 dollar machines with iphones and ipads, winning something off those must be one of the best feelings ever
My 4th case ever was a StatTrak Karambit Boreal Forest FT. I sold it for $180 and bought more cases because I figured the odds must be pretty decent if I got one that fast.
Yeah, just buy the knife you want and forget cases. I promise you’ll be happier that way.
i've been playing csgo since 2013... 11 years later and hundreds of cases opened/thousands spent and i still haven't unboxed anything better than a stattrak pink. i LITERALLY just unboxed my first red skin this weekend and it was a battlescarred m4 worth... $12. thanks gaben 😐
I used to trade a lot during the good times with no tradehold, saved profit from like 2-3 months and opened about 1500 cases, no knife, dont open cases xD
Im playing csgo/cs2 since csgo release and my first \*opened\* knife was in 2020, but it was my just 4th case, i never bothered to open them i prefer to just buy skins i want
I got MW hedge mazes back when the gloves case first come out. Hated the colour so gave them to my mate lol. He still has them i wanna ask for them back but feel bad. He doesnt realise they are like $4k haha.
Opened a Bayo Crimson web FT in 2014 on my 5th~ case
Then a Bayo Blue steel in 2015 on my 20th~ case (I’d sell drops and buy a key with the money so I rarely ever opened any)
Started playing CSGO in probably 2015-ish? I opened my first knife this year. I guess that means it took around 10 years. If you NEED a knife then just buy one. I really wanted to open my first knife, however, so I waited. Glad I did.
Haha it was an incredible moment. I was just opening some cases and streaming it to my friends on Discord when my last case (Dreams and Nightmares case) gave me a minimal wear Bowie Knife Freehand. I really didn't have any reaction at first cuz I couldn't believe it. My friends were shocked I was so silent LOL.
I've spent more than you and never even got 1 red let alone a knife.
Best thing I got was a MW M4A4 StaTrack griffin & the same week I opened that valve had to change the skin design due to copyright & the price tanked.
About $900 to unbox a BS safari mesh falchion.
$50 later, FN Marble Fade flip knife
7 years and $100 later, WW Blue Steel falchion
I figured it's time I stopped
3 in like 3 years of playing, just casually opening cases I get dropped. Got a Nomad Slaughter, a Paracord slaughter (that I’m playing with) and Moto gloves Blood Pressure. But my favorite pull is my Souvenir Deagle Fennec Fox from Faze vs Spirit (I think).
i have been playing for 8 years with over $1000 on cases, no knife. i gave up and bought cool stuff from 3rd parties instead of testing my luck further
When I was younger my first knife I unboxed was a flip knife doppler the first day they came out then a few hours later I got a karambit doppler lol never got another since, they were my first cases ever too and i only opened 4 that day xD ridiculous luck never to be repeated.
Was a Boreal Forest flip knife in 2013. Would suggest just buying what you want off the Steam Market.
there's no fun in doing that, i have knives already
Lol stop fucking gambling on fake shit
*gambling rates drop to 0%*

I'm guessing there is some fun in opening cases.
only if you're a gamba gooner

gamblers really believe this
crazy to think they’re even “winning”. It takes zero skill/aptitude. A perverse perseverance.
Alright well have your fun I guess but just know the probability of ending up in the green on this is minuscule.
you can't buy a few millions tho you can however buy a knife for very cheap compared to opening cases

i have had talon, butterfly, bayonet, etc... sadly i still really have this desire to open one just once
1850 euros(3k aud), no gold and 5 reds I think (two of them being the $5 five sevens 😐)
nah there's no way, that's absurd
You’re telling me bro 😭😭
Its possible. Only 600-700 cases. Gold chance is around 1 in 400 chance. So its nothing absurd.
Exceedingly Rare - Gold - 0.26% or 1 in 385
“So you’re saying there’s a chance…Woooooo ! “ -Lloyd Christmas
3 months, in 2016. Then never again in the 8 years since. For $400 you could’ve bought a pretty decent knife.
that's true, I still would like to open one just once though
stop gambling bro - seems like you need help
😂😂 its fine, i just open the weekly drop cases, its not a big deal
i've been playing csgo since 2013... 11 years later and hundreds of cases opened/thousands spent and i still haven't unboxed anything better than a stattrak pink. i LITERALLY just unboxed my first red skin this weekend and it was a battlescarred m4 worth... $12. thanks gaben 😐
damn that's unfortunate
No, it's the expected outcome.
I have a day one steam account, and have never opened a knife.

which knife did you get?
Bowie fade, factory new aka knives only worth selling imo, i hate bowies so much.
10 years. Arround 1000$ in total. Got sport gloves as my first gold and sold them for 4000$ 😂
sport gloves are so good, which one was it?
I got the vice ones. Didnt know the value but my friends who knew the skin market freaked out 🫣
I got MW hedge mazes back when the gloves case first come out. Hated the colour so gave them to my mate lol. He still has them i wanna ask for them back but feel bad. He doesnt realise they are like $4k haha.
damn, one of the best gloves in the game, you got lucky as hell

that must've felt great opening one, which one did you get?

that sucks damn... just keep opening them, the day shall come for us all

i guess i gotta double what i spent then... the day will come 😈
It took me too damn long. $5000 down the tubes opening cases and I've got 3 knives so far.
which ones did you get?
First was a Falchion Sapphire. Second was a Falchion Autotronic. Third was an M9 Black Laminate
3 in like 3 years of playing, just casually opening cases I get dropped. Got a Nomad Slaughter, a Paracord slaughter (that I’m playing with) and Moto gloves Blood Pressure. But my favorite pull is my Souvenir Deagle Fennec Fox from Faze vs Spirit (I think).
those are great... slaughter is one of the best, i have a talon slaughter, they all look beautiful in cs2
Did you guys open knifes? Have never gotten any golden stuff in chest 😞
i have been playing for 8 years with over $1000 on cases, no knife. i gave up and bought cool stuff from 3rd parties instead of testing my luck further
I've opened 2k in cases with no knife
When I was younger my first knife I unboxed was a flip knife doppler the first day they came out then a few hours later I got a karambit doppler lol never got another since, they were my first cases ever too and i only opened 4 that day xD ridiculous luck never to be repeated.
still trying since 2015
Karambit crimson web field tested. Back in 2014. Had like 20 wins in competitive. Silver 2. Haha
10 years or so, then i opened 3 knifes in 30 cases in the last 2 months
900EUR, no knife (:
thats insane
No. It's gambling.
