Profit Factor vs. Fixed Amount Logic Explained

Compare the two core recovery logics in our Strategy Builder to see which fits your risk profile better.

Choosing Your Recovery Path

The core of any progression strategy is how it handles losses. Our tools offer two primary methods to get you back into the green:

1. Profit Factor (Percentage-Based)

This is dynamic. If you use a 1.1 Profit Factor, the tool calculates a stake that covers your losses and adds a 10% 'bonus' on top of that specific recovery. It is designed for those who want their profit to scale with the length of the losing streak.

2. Fixed Amount (Target-Based)

This is rigid and disciplined. Whether you win on the first round or the fifth, your net profit remains the same. You can define this as a flat cash figure (e.g., $5) or a percentage of your bankroll (e.g., 2%). This is ideal for bettors who want consistent, predictable growth.
