Ivan's Boot Balls 2³ : Rebooten
We all thought Boot Ball 2 was over, but as the dust settled in the packing area... boots remained. Too many boots for comfort—and now they've formed into a Lovecraftian, interdimensional horror threatening to consume our employees.
More importantly, no one rolled the PVS-14 during Boot Ball 2—and margins be damned we ARE going to sell the $16 PVS-14.
Boot Ball³ contains all off the boots left over from Boot Ball 2 along with additional surplus bonuses such as bags, packs, and clothing. And since 2/3rds of our boots sold in Boot Ball 2, the chances of winning that PVS-14 have increased proportionally. When Boot Ball³ sells out, someone's going to get night vision.
About the Balls
Unlike previous "Gumball" themed clearance events, Boot Balls™ are composed of regular inventory direct from our shelves. You're getting our regular products at a massive discount—all boots are Good to Excellent condition.
Each Boot Ball™ contains one (1) randomly selected pair of boots based on the published odds below. No special requests for specific boot models or size will be honored, it's all down to what the random number generator says.
In addition to the Boot Roll, there is a Guaranteed Bonus Roll included with each Boot Ball. (See the published odds below)
Please note that this is a clearance event. Returns, exchanges, and warranties are not honored on Boot Balls™.
The Boot Ball™ RNG Process
Below you will find the table of available boots, each with a corresponding percentile chance. Boot Ball™ items are determined through the following RNG system—no requests for specific boots are allowed.
Let’s say you have your eye on a particular pair of boots and want to calculate your chance of getting them, at least once, across multiple Boot Balls™. The formula for this is:
1 - ( 1 - % Chance) ^ (# of Chances)
If boot A has a 20% chance per Boot Ball™, and you purchase three Boot Balls™, here's how it would shake out. Your chance at boot A is equal to:
1 - (1 - 0.20)^3 = 0.488
In other words, your chance at boot A is 48.8%
Note: To use this formula you need to express the percentage chance in decimal form. The 20% chance in the formula above is written as "0.20" not "20."
Happy hunting and may RNGesus bless you!
