Profit Potential
Understanding the economics of ORE Pump helps set realistic expectations.
Sources of Value
1. Winning Bets
When you bet on the winning coin:
- You receive a share of the total pot
- Share is proportional to your bet vs others on that coin
- Minus platform fee (see Fee Structure)
2. Staking Rewards
Regardless of betting outcomes:
- You accumulate stake through participation
- Stake earns APY in refined ORE
- ORE can be sold or held
3. ORE Token Value
If ORE token value increases:
- Your refined ORE is worth more
- Your stake generates more real-world value
Example Scenarios
Scenario A: Lucky Winner
Bet: 0.5 SOL on winning coin
Total pot: 50 SOL
Your share of winning coin: 25%
Gross winnings: ~12.5 SOL
Net after fees: ~11.5 SOL
Profit: 11 SOL
Scenario B: Steady Player
Session: 20 rounds
Avg bet: 0.1 SOL per round
Wins: 2 rounds (expected ~0.8)
Gross winnings: varies
Stake earned: accumulates
APY earnings: ongoing
Net result: likely small profit or loss, plus stake
Scenario C: Unlucky Streak
Session: 10 rounds
Bets: 1 SOL total
Wins: 0
Loss: -1 SOL
But: Earned stake, earning APY
Long-term: Stake value may offset some losses
Average Expectations
The Math
- 25 coins per round
- 4% chance per coin
- Theoretical break-even requires winning 1/25 rounds
In Practice
- Variance is high
- Short-term results fluctuate wildly
- Long-term converges to expected value
Risk Management
Set a Budget
Decide before playing:
- Maximum you'll bet in a session
- Stop-loss point
Diversify Bets
Instead of all on one coin:
- Spread across multiple coins
- Reduce variance (but also reduces max upside)
Value Stake
Remember:
- Even losing bets build stake
- Stake has real value
- Consider it part of your return
