I keep track of the percentages vs. expected, and I'm higher in every category except Diamond.

However... the thing is, with that one card covering well over double the cost of buying the packs I opened to get it, you can see how the value is so extremely skewed towards those few high end cards that the average value of opening a pack really CAN be greater than the cost in the long run even though individual packs will almost always be a losing proposition.
in other words, the answer is: depends on what's in it
