Dota – How does wager in dota2 works

dota-2

I got a last compendium, it seems that when I wager my coins to a game and lose, I don't lose any coins.

What is the point then? Why would someone not wager every coin they have every game, why is there even the option?

Official description is: Coin Wagering allows players to earn coins by predicting their match victories. Before a match begins, players place a Wager of Compendium Coins. When the match begins, the Wagers from all players are added together, minus 5%, to form the total Coin Pool. After the battle, each player on the victorious team wins a percentage of the Coin Pool based on their Wager compared to the rest of their team.

So, atleast one player from both teams need to wager the coins for winnings/loss. I am going to play today, Will keep this updated.

Also, now we have a chance to win bonus coins and cap of 5% is removed from total winnnings.
