Thoughts on Chance Items?

Thoughts on Chance Items?
I love gambling. It pretty fun opening Chance Items for a chance at a victory.

However, recently I discovered an unverifiable pattern:
You have a better chance at profiting from CI if you use it within hours of it's release.

Though you cannot verify that this is an accurate statement, I have much experience with this cash shop item to know a pattern when I see it.

Hell Prison, October 2010: I was online when they were released, and I bought 3 single use items. 1 fail, 1 victory (MP value: 500-600k), and 1 Ivan victory (MP value: 2-3m). I sold the two victories, reinvested it, ended the night with 5.8m.

Jack Frost, December 2010: Bought a few bundles with my Hell Prison gold, profited 2.8m that day.

Club Limbo, January 2012: Had 2.5m from selling my prized Emeraldback Lion earlier that day, new CI came out, bought two bundles, got 4 victories. Reinvested, finished with 7.5m.

Now, this may sound like extreme luck, buy here is where it gets interesting.
I GO BANKRUPT THE FOLLOWING WEEK.
That's right, as soon as I attempt to play the same CI I earned millions on the following week, no luck. It may be a gambling problem and I don't know when to quit, but the odds of winning shouldn't change like that, unless staff had something to do with the success rate.

Your thoughts on my story?

Offtopic, anyone want to buy a legitimately earned Champion Halls Victory? MP value is 1.25m.

Never tried my luck with CI's always sold them. I tried a couple times my best win was a 700k item.

I won panda slippers when they were really new, and sold them for 70k and thought that was amazing T_T

I don't play with CIs, gambling is a bad thing to get into, you'll lose more than you make.

I'm trying to buy some advanced chances so I can do it. When do they open
