Which CS2 case is the most profitable?

By unboxing ROI it is eSports 2013 Winter Case: 72.7% at a full cost of $16.30. "Profitable" really means "least losing": even this one returns less than you spend.

Is there a case with over 100% ROI?

No. None of the 42 tradable cases has contents whose expected value exceeds the opening cost. Case prices are set by the same people who open them, and they stay below the contents by exactly the key price.

How is the ROI computed?

We take Valve's official per-rarity odds, roll wear across five buckets respecting each skin's float range, add the 10% StatTrak chance and plug in the lowest marketplace prices from our database. The resulting expected value is divided by the case-plus-key cost.

What is ROI with contracts?

Some drops are worth more as inputs to a profitable trade-up contract than sold outright. We compute EV taking, for every outcome, the better of "sell now" and "feed into a contract".
