ding, if you can learn how to use the search function, you will find the answer to your question. This is at least the 2nd post of yours that I can recall that would have been easily answered by searching before posting.

Site seems a little simplistic with respect to what target is optimal. I'll stick with Izverg's sticky formula.

To answer the original question, the EV of a sticky depends on how much gamble you are will to engage in. The maximum EV is the bonus amount, or a bit less due to the -EV nature of gameplay.
