Bot matches do not count towards your Low Prio matches since 3-4 patches back. They changed it. You buy and sell for US Dollars in the Steam market, which is subtracted or added to your Steam wallet. Valve charges a 15% fee for each transaction, so if you sell an item for $1.15, you will actually get $1 in your wallet.

15% of 1.15 != 1.

Though you are right about the percentage and other details. Its just your math :P
 
You list an item for $1. Valve takes 15% of the cut so the item actually shows up for $1.15 in the market place. If you want to get $1 by selling an item, the buyer will have to pay $1.15 for it. My math is fine, but the phrasing could have been better.

Now you got everything wrong..

You list an item for 1$, the market shows as 1$ (buyer can buy it for 1$). 15% is taken by valve after the sale and so the amount you get in your wallet is 1$ - 15% of 1$ = 0.85$.

PS:: BTW you might want to calculate 15% of 1.15 and check if your match was correct on your earlier post.

You and I are using the word "list" differently. I list my key at $1. As far I am concerned I want to get $1 by selling it. I don't care that Valve auto adjusts the actual selling price as $1.15, which is 15% of $1. In my previous two posts I never said that 15% of $1.15 is $1. Now with pictures!!

Yup.. I persume we are using the word list differently.

Appreciate your effort to put down the screenshot though :)
 
Just another overhyped hero with overhyped crappy arcana. The only arcana which I like is Lina's. Rest suck!
 
Anyone alive? I won my 6th bet in a row in the last 24-48 hrs. Value of winnings is $24. :D

What do you bet? I bet commons just for fun :)

I also started out with small rares and got whalehook and some good rares from Pain Gaming vs UG.
I won 8 bets in a row then lost some commons uncommons on Lai Vs VG. then on my 10th bet I placed $20 items on Xgame Vs Empire which Empire lost! Unbelievable. -__- all my winnings gone Lol now to start again. I still have my LGD Golden Skipper and trade some items with Doom's Omoz sword with Kinetic. I still have it. :3
an oh I also have QoP dagger with Kinetic. Maybe i didnt lose everything after all
 
Don't go all in on those 90/10 odds. The reward is not worth the risk. I generally stay away from SEA and NA dota. They are very unpredictable and there is no guarantee of fair play. But recently Empire have started losing to tier 3 teams, which is why I have stopped betting on them too.
 
So I started betting regularly since the last couple of weeks and hoarded quite a handful of Arcanas (11 at most) and many $5-10 items. Then I started losing them one by one because of intentional throws (kick-started by C9 Vs KPG) and what not. I lost my last arcanas on Malaysia Vs FD. I started betting from $0.50 and now making my way back to $0.50 :P
I lost $40 on C9 Vs Secret in the D2L.
