No cap on tickets? No thanks.
-snip-
Why shuold there be a cap? Someone could buy 100 tickets but that's more then what the block erupter is actually worth =P
Mainly just because the more tickets that get created/purchased, the lower the odds of winning are per ticket.
So say i buy (fake math numbers incoming) 10 tickets and there are a total of 100 purchased tickets, i have a 10% win chance.
If someone else buys 50 more tickets, i've now got a <10% chance to win
Then we add the math of "at XYZ tickets somone gets 2nd wich is 50% of winnings, at an even higher number of tickets, two blockerupters will be sent out aswell as a 2nd place winner"
And it becomes more complicated, but my point is still there, my odds will continue to go down.
The prize pool expands with entries.
Prize pool - There is no upper limit or lower limit of entries. The prize pool expands with the number of entries.
1-125 Entries - Drawing 1 winner - 1 Block Erupter
126 - 249 Entries - Drawing 2 winners - 1st = Block Erupter, 2nd = 50% of the 126-249 Entry fees
250 - 375 Entries - Drawing 3 winners - 1st = Block Erupter, 2nd = Block Erupter, 3rd = 50% of the 250-375 Entry Fees
Following that pattern indefinitely.
You're an idiot.
Oh, you've sortof capped it at 125tickets per block erupter!, how silly of me to miss that.
No need to call me an idiot, i was just being one at the time due to info i didnt fully read
I think i may buy a few tickets
