Question
What's the house edge on pack ripping?
Short answer
The gap between what a pack costs and the average value of what's inside, plus whatever you give up when you sell back.
Few platforms publish expected value directly, but published odds let you compute it. Our simulator is tuned to return 90–95% on average, a realistic range. If you also sell back at 90%, your all-in return falls to about 81–86% of what you spend.
