Thursday/Friday Flips
Hey Guys,
Today presented a really good opportunity to make some quick coins following the release of 6 PM content! This is actually a recurring them all year, but many don't know what to look for to take advantage of it!
Thursday flips can be sold at two times primarily. The first is a few hours after rewards. This is a safe option and presents guaranteed profit with no risk of content or loading screen panic.
The second is late Thursday night or Friday morning. This presents a higher risk/rewards factor. Most of the time, it works to sell later, but you can also get hit by a few things.
First, if an SBC comes that impacts your cards you're in trouble. For example, let's say a very dominant LB SBC came this week while many of us had them...that would have lowered the value of our flips at 6 PM directly.
Second, if a loading screen comes that was UNEXPECTED it can cause panic as people prepare for the event. If a FUTTIES promo screen dropped you would see the market rise less sharply.
Without major content coming META cards will rise right into Friday. Friday is when people play Weekend League and people open rewards throughout the entire day Thursday. Sure, the majority open right at rewards, but due to timezones, work, etc. some people open them later into the day. This causes the market to rise!
Today, the 3rd day of the Deluxe SBC was DEFINITELY not enough to slow down the market.
Some cards did drop upon the release as people either got substitutes or sold off current players to do the SBC. For example, if you packed a usable CB, you likely would sell your current option.
As people completed these substitions, I noticed some cards dropping in price that were on a very steady rise before content. I shouted them in Discord, but here are what they looked like -
As you see in this example, Manolas TOTS went as high as 165K pre-6 PM. After the 6 PM panic he dropped to 150K and under. He's now back to 170K...
The same thing happened with Kamara on Xbox. He climbed as high as 73K on Xbox and got panicked down to 65K. He's now back to 75K or so with more room to go!
You can take advantage of this trend through much of the year!
As you can see with other flips, they just continuously rose!
