it seems to me that "chance" is not literal here. there may be odds of an item in a crate but the chance to open a crate can evaporate without a crystal expenditure.

Example: today i looked at the crate offer but did not spend crystals, then i viewed the villages which had left tips and gifts from overnight and tipped those, when i left the gifts and tips window i was awarded, in error, the 2 crystals reward for opening the first crate. Now i have a chance to "open" one more, for which there is an 8 crystal reward. literally at this time it would be the first one opened by me if i bought it and it would likely have the second "chance" odds for the items in the charts above.
