xQc loses thousands on huge risky CSGO skin tradeup: \u201cThat\u2019s just my luck\u201d Twitch: xQcxQc is no stranger to gambling on Twitch, and so making risky bets on CS:GO skins is just another day at the office for him \u2013 but even he couldn\u2019t help but grimace at a devastating loss with a risky trade-up, worth around $6,000. There are few ways to lose money quickly in gaming than to try to get lucky with CSGO skins. Of course, you can sit and open cases, which is usually a losing endeavor, or, if you\u2019re a bit more advanced, you can try trade-ups. Trade-up contracts in CS:GO allow you to swap 10 skins for one skin of a higher rarity. If you get lucky, the skin you receive could be worth more than the value of the ten you sacrificed. xQc didn\u2019t try just any trade-up though \u2013 he went big, hoping to land an AWP Dragon Lore, one of the most expensive skins in CS:GO. xQc\u2019s risky CS:GO trade-up goes wrong In order to have a 10% chance of landing the Dragon Lore, Lengyel had to spend over $6,000 on the ten skins for the trade-up. These included an M4-A1s \u2018Knight\u2019 worth over $2,000, and an M4A4 Poseidon, worth around $1,400. Only two outcomes of a possible six would be profit for xQc, while there was a 30% chance of getting a skin worth only $50. Undeterred, xQc pressed on on his June 27 stream, keen to land the Dragon Lore, with an estimated value of around $14,000. Unfortunately, he landed the $50 skin instead. Of all the skins he could have been dropped, this was the 2nd worst, with another worth only $7. But, other options included AK and M4 skins worth over $2,500 \u2013 which would have softened the blow a bit.

That\u2019s not to say he hasn\u2019t been lucky too though, in fact, despite the amount of money he\u2019s spent, he\u2019s probably had more than his fair share of luck with cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
