Answers to the most common questions about CS2 ROI, expected value, and trade ups.

What does expected value (EV) mean in CS2 ROI?
Expected value (EV) is the average return from opening a case or capsule, calculated from item prices and drop rates.
How is profit chance calculated for CS2 ROI?
Profit chance is the probability that your unbox value is higher than total cost, based on live prices and drop rates.
Where do the CS2 ROI drop rates come from?
We use published drop-rate odds and item pools, then combine them with market prices to estimate ROI.
Are trade ups better than opening cases for ROI?
Trade ups can be more controlled than case openings, but ROI still depends on prices, float outcomes, and market demand.
