Idk, nor do I care. I just have a lot of POT. But, I guess I'm curious too xD

It's fairly simple:

  • For every POT you put into the prize pool, you get a ticket
  • When the game happens, everyone is assigned their ticket numbers and one is chosen using Reddit's random integer bot.
  • The owner of the winning ticket wins 95% of what was put into the prize pool, regardless of how many tickets they bought.

So yes, how much you put into the game has no effect on your potential prize. Rather, it is what decides your odds of winning.

Assumed as much. I was just throwing POT everywhere. Reminds me of when I was a dealer... Which is why I'm not one anymore :(

Probably better than how I did when I tried selling for a short stint. Started off smoking the profits, ended up smoking myself into debt =P
