Duelbits wager race question?

I’m trying to wrap my head around how the wager races work with crypto on these casino platforms. For example, when you join a race, is it purely based on total wagered volume, or do factors like win/loss streaks or multipliers play any part? I noticed some folks in the race standings shoot up super fast even with what looks like smaller single bets, so I’m not sure if it’s just about hammering a ton of low bets or if there’s more to it. Also, is it better to spread wagers across multiple games, or focus on just one slot to maximize chances?

Another thing - does anyone know if bonus buys and free spins count the same toward the wager total as normal spins? Just don’t want to shoot myself in the foot by picking games that don’t contribute fully to the race stats. Has anyone figured out a solid strategy that actually makes a difference, or is it just burn through balance and hope for a leaderboard spot? What’s working for you lately?
