Including my bike?
 
And how much did he get in donations this time?
That's something you should always ask in my opinion. I don't get how anyone can finance this madness by donating money to someone who spends it on unnecessary crap like that. It's not even a good investment. The bang you get for your buck is next to zero with streamers like that.

Idk. This whole thing is stupid..
It's interesting to see probability in action. People think that "1 out of 10" means "if I try 10 times it is 100% certain" but it's not. True randomness and probability are not intuitive and people complain when it happens.

Agreed! And on top of that, i don't think players even know their odds before participating, so the player is gambling without knowing his chances of either winning or losing.. That is stupid.

this is already true in a honest bet per say, where the probability do not change. Now lootboxes are not guaranteed to be honest probability, the odds for the next attempt may be lower than the current attempt, and this can go on forever. Video poker machines are forbidden here (still abundant, but forbidden), and one of the allegations when the prohibition took place was that those machines had that diminishing odds.
I'm not a brain doctor to explain how it works, but seems that when the gamble addict believes that is possible to win, it hardly change mind about it, no matter how many times the result go against this belief.
