it's a wash

it's about even; the two things under consideration can't be meaningfully differentiated in terms of value.

it's a wash

A saying meaning "it's a wasted effort" or "all is lost".

Possibly a reference to King John of England who lost his Crown Jewels and everything in his baggage train while attempting to take a shortcut across the Wash, which is an estuary in northeast England that floods. His baggage train was partway across it when the tide came in and lives and treasure were lost.

After waiting hours for their favorite celebrity to emerge from the backstage door, the girls gave up. "It's a wash; he's already gone out some other way."

It's usually used when a good player starts playing the game again after a long period of time and it makes them look like they just got the game.

Mark was washed after not playing the game in over 2 years.

wash

A cancelling-out or balancing effect. An incident where nothing is gained and nothing is lost, a draw.

I won fifty bucks at blackjack, but lost fifty in poker, so I called it a wash and went home.
