That's a big gambling, or should I say big waste of money?

You could get lucky and find a block for 25 bitcoins? You can't win if you don't play.

you need to quantify the amount of rented hash first, then we can discuss, but unless you're going to rent 1 peta i would leave the dream about solo mining

You could rent 10PH for a Week and get no return or 1TH for 24Hrs and mine a block. It's a gamble pure and simple.

Regardless of how much Hash you rent the only thing that is certain is the Money that will cost you.

Save your bitcoins and go buy a lottery ticket instead! It's pretty much the same gamble, but you will end up with saving more money in your pocket!

We've seen pools with 6 times (or more) the current difficulty before finding a block. In other words, you could spend 150 coins to receive 25. Or you could get 25 coins with a 0.20 investment. It is a simple gamble, not a way to make guaranteed profit by any stretch of the imagination.

So as to how profitable? It can be wildly profitable, but it will most likely be a losing prospect over time due to fees involved.
