[@Himathyyy]

Lol this is every business and he's just telling you it

[@sushileafbeats]

Hot take... but I'm not seeing the issue here. He seems quite transparent about everything. Sure he comes off snarky/cocky. But many people would be if they found a gold mine. I don't think people are getting robbed here. Gambling is never 'fair'. The people that would say this is scummy/scammy, wouldn't be buying it in the first place, so they aren't even the audience. If someone is into this type of risk vs reward gambling, and they have the disposable income to do so, I don't see an issue. The only way I could see an issue here, is if it was ACTUALLY a scam, and the 'winners' didn't get what they win. Like that poncho 3 way vs gamble... Someone actually won the cards in that, and they each agreed to the terms beforehand. The comparison to bulk pack buying is what really sets it home for me. This is like an expensive halfway point. You still feel the itch of 'loot boxes' that comes with ripping. But you have a bigger guarantee on something at least half decent. You could go right now and buy a $5000 booster pack, open it, and only get $50 back. And I mean the option is out there to just straight up go buy specific slabs you want. People willing to dive into this gamble at $200, should obviously be somewhat knowledgable about collecting Pokemon TCG. They likely realize sure, I could win this $300 slab, or a $100 slab... But I could also just go shop around and buy a $200 slab of a card I really want directly from a seller. If they don't know this information... I don't know what to tell you. These are grown adults. They have the careers to play around like this. So be it. Mind you, I'm halfway through the video so maybe some shady info will come, but so far I'm not seeing the problem. It's like complaining about fancy restaurants and how they overcharge for food. Okay? So don't go eat there? Many people are okay with doing so, so what is the issue? Context, I am not wealthy at all. Fixed income, disabled. Just some food for thought. Should I complain that the $7 pack I bought at WalMart only had $1.50 worth of cards inside? This isn't a new experience. And you know what, the 2nd pack I bought for $7, had $90 worth of cards inside. But at the end of the day, I just care about the cards I like, and having these cool cards on display in my space. Everyone has their reasoning. To me this seems a much lesser evil than things like people fighting eachother at Costco to grab 151 tin bundles so they can sell em on ebay for 5x the price. Or people selling Surging Sparks PC-ETBs on ebay for 5x the price. There is so much wrong with the hobby, but I think whats showcased in the video isn't that bad in comparison.

[@Catinsanity]

See but the reason people are fighting over things at stores is because people like this are buying everything out. So people have to turn to these avenues. So I do think it’s scammy/scummy behavior.

In this community we have some amazing people like coop for example! Now.. this guy in the video right here I GENUINELY don't believe he's seriously in to pokemon cards.

Sure we might hate his reason for doing all this but money makes the world go round. Theirs people who genuinely enjoy pokemon cards and then theirs people who could careless about them and just use the poke market as a whole to profit from and yes theirs actually quite a bit of profiting when you add up the margins especially from what this guy is doing. In the end if he doesn't do this another person will (they already are) this is a big hobby and gambling has always been a thing ESPECIALLY in gaming! *Cough* Counterstrike😂 but yeah.. these type of people who do this never used to exist so it's important to warn kids about bad this is because many of them may not realize that in gambling THE HOUSE wins most of the time. When very young pokemon collectors see the chance to get super rare expensive cards and channels like this make it seem like it's happening often.. the kids convince their parents to help them purchase. Alot of parents especially if they aren't from this generation theirs quite of few who won't realize this is a form of gambling I've seen this happen in many hobbies and it's sad because this is a gateway AND a form of gambling and it does hurt those who are naturally young and gulliable.

[@rguest2009]

Sounds like he doesn’t refresh the bags until they are sold out. I’ve seen streamers (a company with employees not just a solo streamer) have bags like this and then down to the last few bags where there are the best hits still actually refill the bags before anyone could get those hits.

[@theunclebuddy]

Opening packs is already gambling but these are worse odds and should be illegal. This is wild how these are allowed. Parents fought against bad words in music when I was a kid to "protect" us and we all just sit idly by while they try to turn this generation of kids into gamblers which is a serious issue people faced gambling addictions are real.

[@EricDrinksWater]

I don't really think these are worse odds tbh.

[@thimblemunch24]

No the packs you buy strait from pokemon are way worse odds then 1 in 3.

[@theunclebuddy]

@thimblemunch24 at 200 dollars are you people high? This is not better. lol this will never be better lol

[@theunclebuddy]

@thimblemunch24 200 dollars. Whe. You break the numbers down this is not better lol. first rule of the casino is the house always wins.. if you're spending 200 dollars on sealed pokemon you'll definitely do better than 40 dollar value

[@thimblemunch24]

@@theunclebuddy So, if you spend $200 on packs you will still have worse odds then that. Raising the value of what you spend means nothing.

[@pokene_pokemon]

This was fantastically produced- guy seems to have a similar personality as me and it makes me wonder if he’d hate me or we’d be chill lol. Regardless, you should stick to the documentary content you’ve been doing lately- there’s really no one else in the industry doing it; you basically own an entire niche

[@BwestArt]

Honesty is hard to hear sometimes but i respect it. A bad day at a casino, you're walking home empty-handed. You walk into this, and you're likely to lose, but you still have something to show for it. Its pretty straight forward. Hate it or love it, If you dont like the odds dont do it. Its done live, try requesting for extra stuff ahead of time if you dont pull. Shady people and technology will likely ruin this business model, enjoy it while it lasts if you like gambling 😅 🍻.. kudos gp 👏

Awesome video! Love the documentary style

[@chelseajordan5752]

[@JakeP2013]

Honestly at the start of this video I was rolling my eyes hard at this guy, but I can respect the effort to not just completely rip people off by having modest margins, easy to understand odds, and thinking about the losers. It's not for me but people are always going to want to gamble, too often to an unhealthy extent, so it's refreshing to hear that he at least says that he tries to be aware of who is buying from him.

[@BadDubII]

You actually think he cares? Nahhhh lmao

[@SSSS-ct8rf]

GOATED PULLZ!

[@Zambada88]

Don't understand how any grown person can hate on this business model? They supply a service and a product you like, you have free will, do what you want with it. They're not cornering the market, they're not scamming you since all of them are real cards with real ratings. Please, be a grown up about this.

[@DRealPk3]

people dont understand nuances

[@gabrielwier7166]

Don’t really get the issue If you know the odds and risk going in, what’s the big deal. Super transparent. Seems kinda cocky but so are soooo many people. The people upset don’t get mad when they spend $150 on a booster box to get $20 worth of cards.

[@WattoRips]

loved how much effort you put in for this and paced the story together man. I was expecting a hit piece and it was just a fair video, leaving the viewer to decide. Well done! Really inspired me to do something besides just rip packs haha.

I respect this guy alot more after seeing this. Had no idea this is what the slabs he bought were going for. It's people's choice to spend the money and gamble , they are getting 1 out of 3 odds. Way better than any game at the casino.

[@martinibockinstile]

16/50 is a 32% chance, slightly less than one third but maybe that's splitting hairs. Then again those small math margins are what fortunes are built on.

At the end of the day it's a business, they have to make profit or else they can't run.. You can say it's sketchy but the fact he's actually sending out the good pulls means it's not a scam

Respect to Goated Pullz for putting in the work and actually making something so big out of this, but I can't help to feel like I don't fit in with this side of the hobby. And to be transparent myself, part of me doesn't even like sharing the same space. But that's a me problem, so I'll work on that. Very fun and interesting to see the insides of the business model, though! Thank you to both Goated Pullz and Goated LUVz for an amazing video!!

[@NinjaStroll]

I'm with you. I just simply collect for the fun of it by myself. Never understood the appeal of trying to be part of a community or get dopamine hits from these kinds of engagement

[@PokemonDoshyy]

We have these collectors side, and gambler side. And i am more on a collectors side.

[@monkey39128]

It's not your problem. It's 100% fine to be uncomfortable with unlicensed gambling.

[@JohnniePokemonNj]

I was buying packs on whatnot and out of the sellers 2 of them got busted for scamming the customers. After that I only buy packs or slabs in person not taking chances

[@fabioseminario6921]

My Charizard UPC cost $250 here in Australia when they came out, opened all the packs and only got $30 of hits from it. Opened a Surging Sparks ETB two days ago, $99, got two ex cards worth no more than $5. So in all honesty, how is this any worse? We’ve all opened Pokémon products and got absolutely nothing, over and over again 🤔 He has found an opportunity and run with it, hate it or love it, it’s a business just the same as Pokémon. Happy collecting everyone! Hope you’ve pulled HITS this Christmas! Unfortunately I didn’t 😂 Thanks for the video Luv and Goated, congratulations on both your successes!

[@ant_989]

@@UrAveragePlayer0 When you consider that addiction to gambling is as serious as addiction to drugs or alcohol it's not as morally acceptable as you think. "It's only 200$ bro" argument is suddenly not as clever when you ask how many of those people got ruined by it. The obvious answer is "I don't know and I don't care". What a great guy.

Of course people call his gross and scummy, which he kind of is but many businesses are like that around the world. And he is certainly not dumb like i have seen people say cus he wouldnt be able to build sth like that if he was. He even supports his parents financially so i have heard. I don‘t support or admire his idea but i am still impressed ngl.

1/3 chance is worse odds than any game offered in an actual casino including slots. Yes, it's absolutely a scam.

But I’ll add - I don’t have an issue with this really. I think there’s a level of TCG that people don’t realize is even happening, and it’s just big money moves we can’t attain. Everyone has their way of using these cards.

[@calebs.8776]

I gotta be honest, while many may view this as a scam or gamble, and it very much is a gamble, it is still in the same vein as buying booster packs in general. On the point of kids buying it, what is stopping that same kid from buying packs or baxes at Walmart, Target, or the dollar store? Should they too be considered casinos since they sell "gambles"?

[@LuciferArc1]

This is what whatnot is for the most part. Not all sellers but most of the big ones, its just a casino

[@scottgeene1770]

I wonder how many of these packs and boxes are stolen or boosted out of stores??

[@AAGDarkPulse]

I’ll prob be the only one who says this but, if you are complaining about what he’s doing. You can still pull the cards yourself. While he’s basically removing $400+ from each person. It’s like he said, it’s not kids, and usually it’s people with money. You can spend $4000 on boxes and legit get nothing but trash the whole way through
