The limbo formula

win chance = (1 - house edge) / target
Stake result = max(1, floor(0.99 / float x 100) / 100)

Stake draws one float between 0 and 1 from your server seed, client seed and nonce, and the result is 0.99 divided by it. The chance that the result is at least x is therefore 0.99 / x. Targets go from 1.01x to 1,000,000x.

Every setting keeps the same house edge, so no target or win chance is "better" on average. Over many bets you lose about bet x house edge per bet: 1 for every 100 wagered at 1%. Lower win chances only make the swings bigger.
