Why would all the packs worth less than EV have to be opened?

• IanCal 5y ago
  On a large scale that should make sense. If you have an EV of £20 for the contents of a random pack and can buy them for £10, it makes sense to buy as many as you can to open and sell on the contents. They don't have to be opened, but if the difference is large it would make sense for people whose only interest is in getting a return to buy & open them.

    That explanation only makes sense if you take alisonkisk's use of "worth" to mean "price", which makes it a very different comment. That all packs with price less than their EV get opened makes sense. At the same time, packs with price more than their EV don't really make sense - it's better to just buy singles in that case. But to me, the comment meant that packs with worth (total value of their contents) less than their EV i.e. underperforming packs were guaranteed to be opened, so the EV of remaining packs would rise, justifying the price increase.
