Opening CS cases .
|
| Opening cases is usually a losing game, but I still see many people doing it, hoping to hit something rare. Are there any cases worth opening, or is it always better to buy the skins you want directly? I’m curious if there are cases with better odds or a higher profit potential. |

| Unless you get extremely lucky, you’ll almost always lose money opening cases. Valve designs the system so that most drops are low-tier skins that aren’t worth much. However, some cases are better than others. Older cases with expensive knives or gloves inside are technically more valuable to open. Still, their price on the market is so high that it usually cancels out any potential profit. If you’re set on opening cases, look for ones with high-tier skins still in demand. Operation cases, for example, sometimes have exclusive skins that increase in value over time. But realistically, buying the skin you want directly is almost always the smarter choice. |

| Exactly. Case openings are a lottery; sometimes, market fluctuations make things even riskier. One of the biggest things that messed with case values in the past was the rise of crash cs go sites. These platforms absorbed massive amounts of cases and skins, creating artificial demand. When Valve cracked down on these sites, the market shifted overnight, and case prices became unpredictable. Cases that were being opened constantly because of gambling lost their demand, and their prices dropped fast. If you’re going to open cases, it’s more for entertainment than for profit. If you’re looking for an investment, you’re better off buying cases and holding onto them for years rather than hoping to pull a rare knife from an opening. |
