Then buyers will purchase these mystery packs, hoping to pull something much more valuable than the amount of money they spent. They usually won't; however, there's a gambling aspect of this that keeps the marks customers lining up to buy more.

Thank you.
Yes, it was a serious question, although I do understand that my snarky sarcastic nature would cause people to think it wasn't.
I had a feeling what it was, but was hoping that people wouldn't be stupid enough to buy such a thing, but of course they are.
I would say it's closer to a scam than to gambling, but that would be semantics, I suppose.
