Breakdown
Pot 0.580 ETH is below break-even (0.662 ETH) — you have room. Edge grows as the pot falls or SLVR rises.
How to Read It
How it works. Betting all 25 tiles you always hold the winning square, so you take 90% of the pot pro-rata — which equals 90% of your own stake. The other 10% of your stake is the protocol's cut: a fixed ETH bleed = 10% × your stake, independent of pot or bet size. You also mine your share (stake ÷ pot) of the round's SLVR, and — 1-in-625 per round, random and memoryless — your share of the jackpot pool.
The one ratio that matters. Since bleed and SLVR income both scale with your stake, bet size cancels out. Profit is decided by pot size vs SLVR price. Break-even pot ≈ (SLVR×realize + jackpotEV_perETH) ÷ (10% × ETH). Stay below the break-even pot line and you're green.
Read the jackpot number honestly. The “with jackpot” figure is an expected value — you collect nothing for hundreds of rounds, then a lump when it fires. On a pure cash basis, judge yourself by the “no jackpot” line; the jackpot is upside on top.
