IT's all about risk management, you can be virtually guaranteed a certain amount of profitability, vs. possibly none.

Difficlty isgrowing too fast, you wont find those 2 blocks, maybe 1, if you will have a good luck.

Anyone think the crap shot is worth it?
This is all speculation but figured it was an interesting topic.

With the big boys yet to ship(KNC, BFL, BA, etc) it doesn't make sense to solo mine with 5 TH/s.  That's like a drop in the bucket compared to the network hash rate of over 40 Pentahash.

Crap shoot is definitely not worth it, and would be a waste of electricity costs.

Not worth it!! have tried this in the old days without success!! best thing to do is to use a pool or set your rig up for rent.
Good luck,

I would definitely recommend solo mining with 5 TH. The network and hash rate is so huge and will only continue to grow fast with the new th miners coming out. You are betting off using a pool this way you can at least recover the electricity costs and some of the price you paid. If you happen to make ROI or close to it then want to do more riskier stuff like solo mining feel free to.
