Questions

Why is the Clutch Case payout below 100%?

The case and key cost $2.87, 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 33% — 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 Clutch Case, the median balance falls below the opening price after about 41 openings attempts.

What if I get lucky?

Over 34 openings the chance to pull ★ Sport Gloves | Vice is 0.4%, and the chance to double the budget is 1.7%.
