Strategy Guide

Want to win more? Here are proven strategies from successful players.


Strategy #1: The Holder

Best for: Patient players who want consistent returns

How It Works

  1. Accumulate tokens when price is low

    • Buy during market dips

    • Target 0.5-1% of total supply

  2. Never sell (or rarely)

    • Hold through rounds

    • Earn holder bonus forever

  3. Make small trades every round

    • 0.1-0.3 SOL trades

    • Just enough to participate

  4. Compound bonus points over time

    • Holder bonus grows with trading volume

    • Passive income from other traders

Example

Setup:

  • You hold 1% of supply

  • Average 50 trades per round

Your advantage:

  • Every round: +500 holder bonus points (50 trades Γ— 10)

  • Your 0.1 SOL trade: 10 base + 1 bonus = 11 points

  • Total: 511 points from minimal trading

Why it works:

  • Low risk (small trades)

  • Passive income (holder bonus)

  • Compounds over time

  • Works on both Bull and Bear sides


Strategy #2: The Whale

Best for: High-risk, high-reward players with capital

How It Works

  1. Accumulate 1%+ of supply first

    • Get holder bonus advantage

    • Establish position

  2. Make large trades late in rounds

    • 5+ SOL trades

    • +50% volume bonus (Bulls)

    • +10 points holder bonus per trade

  3. Bonus multipliers stack

    • Base: 500 points (5 SOL)

    • Volume bonus: +250 points (+50%)

    • Holder bonus: +10 points

    • Total: 760 points from ONE trade

  4. Dominate the leaderboard

    • Your single trade can equal 50+ small traders

    • Massive share of prize pool

Example

Round 100:

  • Prize pool: 10 SOL

  • Wave: RISING (70% to winners)

  • Winners' pot: 7 SOL buys ~3,500 tokens

Your play:

  • You hold 2% of supply

  • Last 15 seconds: Trade 10 SOL (Bulls)

  • Your points: 1,000 base + 500 bonus + 10 holder = 1,510 points

  • Bulls total: 2,000 points

  • Your share: (1,510 / 2,000) Γ— 3,500 = 2,642 tokens

Risk: If Bears win, you lose your 10 SOL trade. High stakes.


Strategy #3: The Sniper

Best for: Skilled traders who can read momentum

How It Works

  1. Watch the round, don't trade early

    • Observe first 50 seconds

    • Analyze scoreboard

  2. Identify the losing team

    • See which side is behind

    • Check price momentum

  3. Strike in the last 10 seconds

    • Make large trade for losing team

    • Attempt to flip the outcome

  4. Maximize points with minimal risk

    • Only 10 seconds of price exposure

    • High points if you flip the result

Example

Round 250 - 10 seconds left:

  • Bulls: 800 points

  • Bears: 300 points

  • Price: Up 2% (Bulls currently winning)

Your play:

  • Price looks overextended

  • Make 5 SOL sell (Bears)

  • Your points: 500 base + 125 bonus = 625 points

  • Bears new total: 925 points

  • Price drops 3% in last 10 seconds

  • Bears win!

  • Your share: (625 / 925) Γ— prize = 67% of entire prize pool

Risk: You only had 10 seconds of exposure. If price pumped more, you lose, but limited downside.


Strategy #4: Momentum Trading

Best for: Players who follow the wave

How It Works

  1. Only trade when wave is RISING

    • 70-80% goes to winners

    • Maximum expected value

  2. Avoid FALLING waves

    • Only 40-50% to winners

    • Worse odds

  3. Match the momentum

    • RISING wave β†’ Trade Bulls

    • FALLING wave β†’ Sit out or trade Bears

  4. Optimize for highest EV rounds

    • Wait for big prize pools

    • Wait for favorable splits

Expected Value Comparison

Same points, different outcomes based on wave.

Key insight: It's not just about winning. It's about winning when the prize pool split is favorable.


Strategy #5: The Grinder

Best for: Consistent players who play volume

How It Works

  1. Play every single round

    • Don't skip any

    • Consistency > big wins

  2. Make medium trades (0.5 SOL)

    • Get 20% volume bonus

    • Decent points without huge risk

  3. Switch teams based on momentum

    • Bulls if price trending up

    • Bears if price trending down

  4. Law of large numbers

    • Play 100 rounds

    • ~50% win rate expected

    • Cumulative earnings over time

Example

Daily stats:

  • 60 rounds played per hour Γ— 8 hours = 480 rounds

  • Win rate: 50% = 240 wins

  • Average 0.5 SOL per trade Γ— 480 = 240 SOL traded

  • Average payout: 0.3 SOL per win

  • Daily earnings: 240 Γ— 0.3 = 72 SOL

Risk: High trading volume means high fees and potential for losses if unlucky.


Advanced Tactics

Tactic 1: Team Switching

When Bulls are dominating:

  • Switch to Bears

  • Bet on overextension

  • Lower competition on Bear side = bigger share if you win

When Bears are dominating:

  • Switch to Bulls

  • Bet on bounce

  • Support from other contrarians

Tactic 2: Prize Pool Tracking

Watch prize pools:

  • Small pools (< 0.1 SOL): Skip, not worth it

  • Medium pools (0.1-1 SOL): Play normally

  • Large pools (1+ SOL): Go aggressive, high rewards

Tactic 3: Volatility Exploitation

High volatility:

  • Price swinging wildly

  • Outcome less predictable

  • Play smaller, hedge with both sides

Low volatility:

  • Price stable

  • Outcome more predictable

  • Go bigger on the likely winner

Tactic 4: Correlation Trading

If recent rounds:

  • 5 Bulls wins in a row β†’ Bet Bears (reversion)

  • Alternating wins β†’ Bet opposite of last round

  • Random β†’ Trade based on current momentum


Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Mistake 1: Being Loyal to One Team

Don't always play Bulls or always play Bears. Adapt to market conditions.

❌ Mistake 2: Ignoring the Wave

Trading during FALLING waves (40% to winners) is terrible expected value.

❌ Mistake 3: Chasing Losses

Lost 5 rounds in a row? Don't go all-in on round 6. Take a break.

❌ Mistake 4: Not Holding Tokens

The holder bonus is THE most powerful multiplier. Accumulate tokens early.

❌ Mistake 5: Trading Too Small

0.01 SOL trades barely earn points. Trade 0.1+ SOL minimum to be competitive.

❌ Mistake 6: Trading Too Big Without Strategy

Don't just YOLO 10 SOL without a plan. Have a reason: whale strategy, sniper play, etc.


Optimal Strategy (Combined Approach)

Phase 1: Accumulation (Days 1-3)

  • Buy tokens when price is low

  • Target 1% of supply

  • Don't play rounds yet, just accumulate

Phase 2: Holder Mode (Ongoing)

  • Make small trades (0.1-0.3 SOL) every round

  • Earn passive holder bonus

  • Low risk, consistent returns

Phase 3: Whale Plays (Opportunistic)

  • When prize pool is large (1+ SOL)

  • When wave is RISING (70-80%)

  • When you have strong conviction

  • Make 5+ SOL trade for maximum points

Phase 4: Sniper Plays (Advanced)

  • When outcome is close

  • Last 10 seconds

  • Attempt to flip for massive share

This combines the safety of holder strategy with the upside of whale/sniper plays.


Final Tips

  1. Start small, learn the game

  2. Accumulate tokens for holder bonus

  3. Watch several rounds before playing

  4. Track your win rate and ROI

  5. Don't trade emotionally

  6. Set stop-loss limits (don't lose more than X per day)

  7. Take breaks after losses

  8. Remember it's a game of chance
