blotto wasn't as exciting as @alex_lewin's last pay wins, but I kinda like the game design better: last pay wins was ruthless. I can see a world where there are a lot more of these little LN or ecash games all over the place.
I know the concept of EV in poker, it depends on your chances of winning, what you have to put in, and what you can win. In this case, maybe there are times when it’s +EV, but I’d bet most of the time it’s -EV.
I love seeing creative Lightning games like BLOTTO popping up — even if the odds are against me, it's fun to play for sats! 🎯
Would be cool to see a version where part of the pool goes to random consolation prizes too. Anyone else feel like the game design could get even spicier?

25mins to go...
I've been waiting about a week for this one!
5 minutes ...
sooo... arbitrage players on SN, am I completely wrong in thinking they're selling 24-sats tickets for 21 sats each...?
What am I missing?!What am I missing?!
I think I get your question now. You did 239812 divided by 10023 and got 24. BLOTTO does take donations...
That's it.
What did I mess up?
Buying tickets is +EV, no...?
