Questions

Why is the Chroma 3 Case payout below 100%?

The case and key cost $4.26, and almost everything that drops is a cheap skin: 79.92% for the lowest tier, 0.26% for a knife or gloves. Multiply the odds by market prices and you get 68% — that much of every 100 comes back on average.

Where do the prices come from?

The best market offers at the time of the calculation: Skinport, CSFloat, Market.CSGO, DMarket, Waxpeer and White.Market. That is what a drop actually sells for, not a display price.

What does “openings until zero” mean?

The model sells each drop and opens again while the balance covers the next case. For Chroma 3 Case, the median balance falls below the opening price after about 30 openings attempts.

What if I get lucky?

Over 23 openings the chance to pull ★ Karambit | Doppler is 0.1%, and the chance to double the budget is 5.3%.
