As a Pokemon obsessed collector, me and my kids love to rip and open packs.
But we quickly learned that sometimes bad luck can hit OFTEN and HARD.
What are your actual odds when opening packs? Well, it turns out the odds, otherwise
known as "pull rates" were widely available and generally considered very reliable.
So, as a data analyst by trade, I couldn't help but crunch some numbers, including
market prices of cards, combined with pull rates to see which sets had better odds,
and which sets were AWFUL.
Thus began a journey that started with moving some numbers around in a spreadsheet, to
a much broader, more aspirational idea. What if I built a tool that I can use to run
these numbers and it update every day autmoatically?
And... what if I shared it with the world??
was born.
