“Difficulty 2x” – Chicken Road Strategy
“Difficulty 2x” is a new strategy from GamblStrategy, designed specifically for games in the Chicken Road series that feature multiple difficulty levels. Classified as a medium-difficulty approach, it requires a bit of calculation and planning, making it ideal for players who enjoy a more thoughtful style of play. To apply it effectively, you’ll need a calculator, pen, and paper for quick computations and tracking progress.
The core concept of the strategy revolves around doubling the bet after each loss while simultaneously increasing the game’s difficulty level. This gradual escalation not only keeps the game engaging but also strategically compensates for previous rounds. The method emphasizes controlled risk and steady recovery, minimizing exposure to extended losing streaks.
How does the 2x Difficulty strategy work?
Let’s take a closer look at how the “Difficulty 2x” strategy functions using Chicken Road 2 as an example.
First, we establish the average target multiplier that serves as the foundation for all subsequent calculations.
Everyone has their own preferences, but in my opinion, 1.48x is considered optimal. It provides an optimal balance between risk and reward and can be consistently achieved by our chicken in Easy mode with minimal effort or danger. Once this baseline is set, we can move to the practical execution of the strategy.
Example from the game Chicken Road 2
Start in Easy mode with a $1 bet. Guide your chicken safely to the 1.48x mark and then cash out your winnings. Repeat the same process with the next round.
Now, suppose the second attempt ends in a loss. According to the “Difficulty 2x” strategy, you should increase the game difficulty to Medium and double your bet to $2. However, before proceeding, it’s crucial to determine the minimum multiplier required to recover your previous loss. To calculate this, subtract the net profit from the first winning round from the total lost amount. The formula looks like this:
1 – 0.48 = 0.52.
This means you’re currently down by $0.52. To recover that loss, your goal in the next round should be to reach approximately 1.37x, which will cover the previous deficit and return you to profit territory. Once your chicken safely reaches that point, cash out immediately.
| № | Game difficulty | Bet | Оutput coefficient | Win / Loss | Profit $ |
| 1 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 2 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Loss | -1 |
| 3 | Medium | 2$ | 1.37x (1-0.48=0.52) | Win | +0.74 |
After winning, we close this series of rounds and start a new one with the initial parameters. In case of a loss, we do not take into account the amount received in the previous series of rounds.
| 4 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 5 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 6 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Loss | -1 |
| 7 | Medium | 2$ | 1.08x (1-0.48-0.48=0.04) | Win | +0.16 |
As you can see, the higher the winnings, the lower the multiplier needed to win back in a more difficult mode.
| 8 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 9 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Loss | -1 |
| 10 | Medium | 2$ | 1.37x (1-0.48=0.52) | Loss | -2 |
| 11 | Hard | 4$ | 1.83x (3-0.48=2.52) | Win | +3.32 |
After each increase in difficulty and victory in this mode, we return to the initial stage.
| 12 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 13 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 14 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 15 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Loss | -1 |
In this series, the amount won exceeds the amount lost. We close the series of rounds and continue playing from the beginning.
| 16 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Loss | -1 |
| 17 | Medium | 2$ | 1.56x | Win | +1.12 |
We close the series and continue playing from the initial stage.
| 18 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 19 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Win | +0.48 |
| 20 | Easy | 1$ | 1.48x | Loss | -1 |
| 21 | Medium | 2$ | 1.08x (1-0.48-0.48=0.04) | Loss | -2 |
| 22 | Hard | 4$ | 1.83x (3-0.48-0.48=2.52) | Loss | -4 |
| 23 | Hardcore | 8$ | 2.21x (7-0.48-0.48=6.04) | Loss | -8 |
| 24 | Easy | 16 | 1.98x (15-0.48-0.48=14.04) | Win | +15.68 |
| total | +3.34 |
If we fail at all difficulty levels, we switch to easy mode. Don’t forget to calculate the multiplier in all modes until we win.
Despite frequent losses, we still ended up in the black, proving the strategy’s stability over time. The profits may not be large, but they’re consistent and relatively safe, which makes the approach appealing for cautious players. However, like any betting system, it has its drawbacks. A prolonged losing streak can push your bets higher and eventually bring you to the table limit — at that point, recovery becomes impossible, and you risk losing your entire balance.
