Fixed vs. dynamic - which is more effective

1) Terms and things you can't "outsmart"

Flat rate - the same rate for the entire segment (in unit or% of the bank, but without growth/decline steps "by emotion").
Dynamic bet - the size changes according to the rule (in time, after winning/losing, from% of the bank, when changing the slot/mode).
Mathematics base:
  • $$
  • \ mathbb {E} [ext {total}] = - (1-RTP )imes\sumext {bets}
  • $$

By changing the betting pattern, you change turnover and variance, but not RTP or spin chance.

2) What is considered "efficiency"

We evaluate by 4 metrics:
  • 1. Probability to close the session in plus (at a short distance).
  • 2. Risk of ruin/under-life to the goal (bonus/wager/strong bonus).
  • 3. Price per hour: $ext {bid }imesext {spin/hour }imes (1-RTP) $.
  • 4. T & Cs compliance (max bet, Buy/Ante bans) and ease of execution.

3) Fixed rate: pros and cons

Pluses

Minimum variance with the same turnover → higher chance of surviving to bonuses/end of WR.
Price control of the hour and pace.
T & Cs compliance (it's easy not to fly into max bet).
Simplicity - Fewer solutions → fewer errors

Minuses

The "luck shot" can go longer (no acceleration after luck).
Does not use short external EV windows (jackpot tournaments/overlays) unless you recalculate the bet in advance.

Conclusion: basic default selection for WR, flat slots, long sessions, mobile.

4) Dynamic rate: where the point is

Options and effect

Positive progression from profit (Paroli/press 1-2 steps). Accelerates the achievement of stop-win, but increases the risk of "giving back" when rolling back.
Percentage of the bank (fractional). Keeps the risk proportional to the balance: prolongs the life of the bank, but with a negative EV, the drift is still down; the optimal "Kelly" for negative expectation slots is 0.
Down-only rate reduction. Lowers volatility and risk of ruin.
Growth under external EV. Windows of real advantage (non-sticky cash phase, tournament by multiplier on the minimum bet, "Must Drop" at the deadline) - the bet may be higher in plan, and not "in feel."

What not to do

Negative progression (dogon/martingale) is a fast path to the cap/drain, EV does not change.
Timer steps (every N spins + Δ) are simply more expensive than an hour.
Any dynamics under the bonus T & Cs without checking max bet → the risk of cancellation.

5) What to choose for a specific purpose

Wagering the wager (WR)

More effective: fix 0.5-1.2% of the total bank; even slots (HF↑, BF↓), temp 300-450 sp/h.
Dynamics: let's say down-only (cut the rate at a − of 10/ − 20% drawdown), without growth.

High-vol session/" skid hunt "

More effective: fix 0.3-1.0% of the bank; short/serial sessions; Trailing/PL.
Dynamics: 1 short step from profit after a rare hit (cap ≤1% bank/spin), then full resets.

Non-sticky bonus (cache phase → output)

More effective: moderately increased rate/volatility in the cache phase, but strictly in max bet; with a plus - immediately output, the bonus burns out.
Dynamics: "planned" growth in the cache phase is allowed; in the bonus phase - fix and even slots.

Tournaments/Missions

If the multiplier rating is min. bet + high-vol slot; no speaker needed.
If the turnover rating - play only with real EV prizes; fixed rate, we control the pace.

Must Drop/Jackpot Overlay

A planned increase in the rate for the deadline/crowded pool (separate bank, SL/SW series) is possible. This is an exception where the external EV can be> 0.

6) Ready bet profiles

Profile A - Flat-WR

Bet = 0.8-1.2% bank; SL −30%; timer 60-90 min; without Ante/Buy.
Slots: HF≥30 -35%, BF <150, RTP version ≥96%.

Profile B - High Vol Short

Bet = 0.3-0.8% bank; SL −35–40%; SW +60–100%; Trailing 50–60%; PL 60–80%.
1 step is allowed "from profit" (cap 1% of the bank), then resets.

Profile C - Non-sticky (cache phase)

Bet = 1-1.5% of the bank (within max bet); the goal is fast plus → output.
If the cache is burned → in the bonus phase Profile A.

Profile D - Down-only

Base 1% of the bank; at − 10% drawdown → 0.8%; at a − of 20% → 0.6%; at − 30% → feet.
Return to base only after fixing profit (PL).

7) Safety framework for dynamics (if applicable)

Only from profit - not a single step of growth due to the "bank body."
Stages ≤ 2, then fixation/resets.
Rate cap: high-vol ≤1% bank/spin; even ≤1,5 -2%; for Buy - Unit-Risk 0.5-1% bank/purchase.
Trailing stop-win: 50-70% of peak plus; during rollback - exit.
Profit Lock: 50-80% at every major peak - "offside."
T & Cs: do not exceed max bet, do not include prohibited Buy/Ante.
Pace: Don't play turbo at increased stakes (blasts "price of the hour").

8) Formulas and quick checks

Price per hour: $ext {Bet }imesext {spin/h }imes (1-RTP) $ - any increase in Bet or tempo makes the hour more expensive.
Average rate of progression: $\bar b =\frac {\sum b_i}{n}$ - EV falls linearly with the sum of the rates.
How many "tries" does the peak have: $ N _ {\max }\approach\frac {P -ext {Trailing}} {b _ {ext {current}}} $. If $ N _ {\max} $ is small, the rate increase is meaningless → resets.

9) Typical errors

Rate growth from loss (dogon).
3 + "press" stages.
Violation of max bet with one step - the risk of confiscation of the winnings.
Turbo mode at an increased → rate "burned out an hour."
"Dynamics by feeling" without pre-recorded SL/SW/Trailing/PL thresholds.

10) Approach selection checklist (30 seconds)

1. Target: WR/short plus/high-vol-hunt/promo/overlay.
2. RTP version ≥96%? Slot/mode allowed by T & Cs?
3. Fix: rate...% bank; SL …%; SW …%; timer... min.
4. If the dynamics: the source of growth is only profit, ≤2 levels, cap...% of the bank, Trailing...%, PL...%.
5. Is the pace/price of the hour acceptable? If not, reduce the rate/speed.

Conclusion

For 90% of tasks (especially WR wagering, long/even sessions), the fixed rate is more effective: less variance, transparent price per hour, T & Cs compliance and a higher chance to "live up" to the goal.
The dynamics are appropriate pointwise: * down-online for bank protection, short press "from profit" to high-vol, planned growth only for external EV (non-sticky cash phase, real overlay).
Any scheme does not change RTP; the one who manages turnover, pace and risk wins, not the one who "draws the steps."
