Nice! I was thinking about the same approach here the other day! it makes sense right!? Only thing I can think of is all the transaction fees on they way, would it be more expensive then? I mean, there is a lot of up front fees and hidden fees everywhere :P
Btw, I am curious about the cub finance earnings you get (sorry for your loss mate... I can imagine the pain). Could you maybe write an article on your approach here? Like really easy down to point steps on getting started here? Would be awesome mate - I will keep you upvoted for all eternity, haha :D
LoL thanks mate. I'll work on that and discuss my approach. I generally play it safe and stick with assets on cub and pancake only.
Anyway, with the Voucher thing, it's still way cheaper to sell the voucher and pay the hidden fees than mint chaos packs.
The other disadvantage I forgot to point out is that buying packs straight from the market doesn't make you eligible for the Dr. Bright airdrop. However, if you're not a high roller account on Splinterlands, it doesn't really matter since you had almost zero chance of getting it anyway.
You know that assuming you use vouchers to mint Chaos Legion packs, you're still going to spend extra $4 of either Dec, SPS or credit for just one pack with one voucher. Now when you sell the voucher, pay all the hidden fees and such, you can buy two packs from the market.
If you'd like to balance your opportunity, mint a few packs with vouchers and then sell some vouchers and buy directly.
For example, I minted 16 packs in total and I've bought 8 directly from the market. Making it 24 packs and all of them add to my SPS earnings.
Ye sure thing mate! I really like that balance approach - good idea! Vel, same situation as you - started of by purchasing packs with vouchers, but will change that by the end of this event! Trying to reach 50 packs for that guaranteed promo card, haha!
But ye, really nice thoughts around all of this - "if you know what to do you will be more profitable" 😄
Note that I really believe that the vouchers will play a bigger role in the future. It is literally a modern Robin hood token when you think about that analogy. Keep some vouchers for yourself man and hodl them (maybe you get the same return here as you did with the land purcahes) 😎
Interesting thought. Buying CL packs from the market at $8 is obviously overpriced, especially when you consider the fact that the price will eventually drop to $4 when we no longer need vouchers to buy them, do you think it's a nice idea to just ape into the packs with some personal cashto reach 50(I need 26 more) and then just hold on to the remaining vouchers I receive.
If these vouchers turn out to be like plots, I'd like to have a few available 🤔
Ye I know... it's obviously overpriced to buy them now... But you never know what is in the packs mate 🤣 and.. the promo card will be valuable since it is limited. There is also a chance you get REALLY good cards and can rent them out (then your investment will be payed back pretty soon). There are many thoughts to think true mate, that's for sure! Good luck, hoping we get some good stuff out of this!
I will keep some vouchers!
