Overwatch 1:15 chances of opening a rare item like this version of Symmetra. You need 15 loot boxes (cheapest option is 11 for £10 and 5 for £5 = £15 Rocket League 1:101 (at best) chance of getting Black Market item like a Labyrinth Car. That means you are going to have to open at least 101 loot crates so will have to buy at least 101 Rocket Keys – so 5 x 20 key packs at £15.99 each and 1 x 1 key pack at £1.99 = £81.94 FIFA 19 1:102 (at best – EA said chances were less than 1%) chance of getting a Ones to Watch player like Ronaldo. That means you are going to have to open on average at least 102 Gold Player packs – costing 250 points a pack so 2 x 12000 points packs at £79.99 each and 1 x 1600 point pack at £11.99 = £171.97 NB Most players are not going to buy a 12000 point pack though due to the cost and are more likely to buy smaller point packs which cost more on average. Eg a 4600 point pack is £31.99, 500 point pack is £3.99. Some players believe that they have greater "pack luck" when opening packs on the console than on the apps or vice-versa, but the odds are the same regardless of where the packs are opened.
