Can you actually ever "win" or gain troops from playing PPs? I was under the impression that you invest troops = resources, and then you get back (often) BETTER troops and you get rewards from tournaments if you do them at the right time. 

But you always pay an interest to the bank, meaning you actually SPEND troops playing them? 

Or are you saying you can gain more troops than you lose, if you do it right? No other circumstances considered?

you can win if you play right but only untill you have reached your first full payout on lvl 170...

after that it is dissaster and tears and losing units with every payout haha
