#1 Guide to Black Market success
I have spent a year of hard research and study of the Black Market and I've finally come to a conclusion on how to calculate what you get.
Here's the basic steps on how to know what you will get from crates:
If you want to know how much gp you'll make:
First you take the number of crates you buy (lets say 10) and times that by the number of gp you spent on them, if you spent zp then times it twice. Then divide by how many seconds you held down the button to spin. This will give you a number which you then multiply by 30 (items). And thats how much gp you get in total from the 10 crates (or however many you buy).
That's for gp.
This is for the chance of if you will get the gun you want:
First you have to, again, take the number of crates you bought. We will say 10 again. Then look at the gun you want and the price it would normally be in the Item Mall. Divide that price by the number of crates you bought. Then divide again by the number of gp/zp you spent on the crates. Times by 100. Thats the percent chance of getting the gun you want.
To find out how many coupons you will get:
We will say 10 crates again. Times the number of coupons in your storage by 30 and divide by 500. 500 is the total number of coupons won every half-hour. if you get a decimal lower than 1.0 you won't get any. If you get a fraction like 1.2 then there is a definite 1 coupon and a 20% chance for another one.
Any other items I haven't worked out, because they don't really matter.
There you have it, all your Black Market problems solved. Kind of. I still don't know how to make sure you get what you want. Further study is needed.
Sincerely,
Tim

so you say 10 crates. do you mean that the number of crates u buy does not affect the coupons you have? Because you said multiply # of coupons by 30 and divide by 500, which means that the # of crates have nothing to do with it.
Also if you had 0 coupons. 0x30/500=0. That means that it is impossible to ever win coupons in this game, which is bull.
Bs alert? :P -

Also, most crate guns are not in the item mall and cannot be sold either. This also means that the more crates you buy at a time, the less chance you have. Which means if you buy 100 crates, u have no chance of winning.
I know his thread was a joke, but its still fun poking at the logic fallacies in his "formulas" -

I know sometihng about the items thing
But I will never tell anyone about it
Even though I dont play this game anymore(or atleast I odnt play anymore FOR NOW)
Trying to make people believe you know something then saying won't tell you is like school games.
By the way I know how to win 1gun and 1000000gp every crate but I will never tell anyone about it and i don't play this game anymore for now. -

I still can't tell if he's fkin with us -
I would like to congratulate you on getting a "solution" but i believe this is wrong. like that one dude said, there is flaws in your formulas. But, i think black market is totally random. Im in a computer science class where we use jcreator to write codes and whatnot on the copmuter. Recently we did the "Random" method. Where you can put a certain "list" of things, and it will generate one of the random items from your list. Say if i did 1, 1000. it will give me a random number between 1 and 1000. With the technology we have today, i believe they can use this same "Random" method, with a video game.
BUT, i have my own BM strategy i follow, and ive won ALMOST every gun under 20 crates.
