What profit odds means

Profit odds count only prizes larger than what you paid for the ticket. Break-even prizes and free tickets are stripped out. Competitors sell this as "real odds"; it is free here.

Its blind spot. It ignores prize size beyond the threshold: a $1 profit and a $1,000,000 prize count the same.
