It'll be cheaper just to buy the skins instead of opening cases.

Cases are stupid and gaben is making milions on that shit.... Dont bother with them. Just sell them and u can make some money on the game u paid very little for.

Cases drops are limited per week. I domt know exact number but it might be 3 drops a week (resets on wednesday midnight London time zone i think)

I openned 20 cases, to buy keys it costed me £30 ish. Items were worth around £15 so i wasted half... And i think i was lucky to even get a £7 worth deagle skin.

opening cases is not really worth it most of the time you will get crap skins

 

Opening cases is basically playing the lottery.  Your chances of gaining a profit are so incredibly small. 

You should watch this.

This guy opened over 2k cases and didn't even come close to a profit, in fact losing around $2000.

 

Cases drops are limited per week. I domt know exact number but it might be 3 drops a week (resets on wednesday midnight London time zone i think)

 

Close.  Case drops are not even guaranteed.  They can be dropped, along with skins, up to 4 times a week.  This resets every week, at midnight pacific time.

Don't open cases. My friend paid 20 some dollars and got around $1.50 worth of skins back...  :(

I got a knife on my 9th or 10th case (I think) so you can get stuff from them but every other case was a blue, I think I got maybe around 5 tec9's in a row. Got a good item so no more case openings for me. Just a case of luck...
