# rounds deposits and odds

HyperPot uses stake-weighted odds.

## Winning Odds

Your chance to win is based on your share of the pot:

```
your chance = your stake / total pot
```

Example:

| Player | Deposit | Win Chance |
| ------ | ------: | ---------: |
| Alice  |  1 HYPE |        10% |
| Bob    |  3 HYPE |        30% |
| Carol  |  6 HYPE |        60% |

Carol is most likely to win because she owns the largest share of the pot, but she is not guaranteed to win.

## Random, But Weighted

The draw is random, but the ticket range is weighted by deposit size.

If the total pot is 10 HYPE, the contract picks a random ticket somewhere inside that 10 HYPE range.

The player whose deposit range contains the ticket wins.

## Multiple Deposits

You can deposit more than once in the same round if the pot is still open.

Your total stake increases, and so does your chance to win.

## Pot Cap

The current public mainnet beta deployment uses a capped pot size:

```
10 HYPE
```

The cap is intentionally limited while the app is in beta.

## Round Timer

The public mainnet beta round duration is currently:

```
120 seconds
```

If the round expires:

* With 2 or more unique players: it can draw a winner.
* With fewer than 2 unique players: it can be cancelled and refunded.

## Fees

At settlement, the current contract model uses:

* Protocol fee: configured in basis points.
* Entropy top-up: a small portion of the pot reserved to keep the Pyth Entropy fee reserve funded.

On the current mainnet beta deployment:

```
Protocol fee: 2%
Entropy top-up: 0.5%
```

So a settled winner receives the pot minus those deductions.

Cancelled solo rounds are refunded without protocol fee and without a Pyth Entropy request.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hyperpot.gitbook.io/hyperpot-docs/rounds-deposits-and-odds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
