YEP!! That's right, I did it again.... That pesky FOMO gets me everytime.

I'll show you how I flipped some #sportstalk tokens for some @steemmonsters cards and it didn't cost me a penny.

Everyday I use my #actifit app to track my steps and to post a daily blog talking about what I got up to that day. I try and get a run in most days so I use the hash-tag "sportstalk" as one of the tags. I don't get many upvote on that post as its not my main blog of the day, but I've noticed that @tbnfl4sun is a whale in the land of sportstalk and everytime he drops an upvote I make a few tokens. Thanks buddy, you're feeding my @splinterlands habit, keep it up. Hahahahah

So yesterday I put out a sell order for 18k tokens which would bring me in 50steem ($10) and enough for 5 beta packs:

That got filled very quick!! It got me thinking, did I under value the token? Do people know something I don't about this token?? Should I have HODLed some more????

Well it's too late now the steempeg token was already in my #steemengine wallet so I "cashed-out". Instead of buying 5 packs I ended up going for 6 because.... Well just because!

So what did I get:

What a great start, a GF grumpy dwarf. Not a world beater, but still a GF in my first pack, it looks promising......

And that's where my luck ended.

Not even a single Summoner! I tell myself all the time - "next time you have spare steem, buy the cards you want" and everytime I ignore myself because I want to find that elusive GF LEGENDARY card.

Safe to say that this was a net loss for me, just like my last investment and the one before, yet I still keep coming back! I know deep down that @splinterlands is here to stay and that any investment now will see a return soon. That's 6 more packs and 30 more cards that no-one else can own with out having to pay for the privilege.

I have never seen you getting a gold foil card before.

You are right FOMO gets almost everyone of us. At the end you decide not to do but you will do it again. It's true for myself. Hope you will be able to find something really good that will compensate all that.

I had the exact same FOMO yesterday when @simplymike pulled 4 prince renneyns in 60 packs.. I couldn't afford that many pack so I bought 15 and used up my potions on them. Not worth it.. lol .. next time.. I need to stick to orbs my luck is much better there lol

I've been having no luck at all, I've given up on orbs too. I've spend thousands of DEC and not had anything lately.

it's tempting

Glad you got good use for the tokens, for some reason, there was a glitch in the first days of sports talk, 10,000 sports power would upvote like 20,000 tokens, I kept banging away and picked up a bunch. Now it's settled down and the tokens are harder to come by but I'm glad I was early!

Damn, I wish I would've noticed that glitch! LoL ;)

Yeah, wish I'd k ow about that glitch too. I'm a little late to the sportstalk thing. I'm enjoying it though.

Hey I stopped in to tell you that I'm not working as a bot anymore. Please remove your delegation. Have a great day..

Sad times @tommyknockers you offered an amazing serivice. Thank you

Yup, bought 10 packs the last few days. All losers, nothing gold, legendary, and not even sure I pulled an epic. Maybe 1.

Do potions work on beta packs?? Because someone is definitely pulli g all the good cards out before I get to them.

Sorry! :0)

Potions do work on the beta packs.

So how many spare Prince's you got now?? Hahahaha

None.
But I do have a maxed one for my main account. All cards pulled in 200 packs :0)

I saw your blog and had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

At today's price I'd settle for finding 1 in 50(ish) pack let alone all the ones you did. Congratulations

Thanks. It was really an amazing pull. The bad side (for my wallet) is: I couldn't stop there, so I bought some more, lol.

Here you go....

My 10 packs over the weekend sucked but Mike killed it.
