The Aviator 1.2x strategy wins about 80.8% of rounds: auto cash out at 1.20x and you’ll win roughly four rounds in every five. Each £5 win nets £1 and each loss costs £5, so one bust cancels five wins. That’s why 1.2x feels calm: small, steady wins and a slow-moving balance. It’s the low-risk favourite for good reason, and like every target it pays back about 97% over time. Real numbers below, from 10,000 simulated sessions. Part of our crash game strategy guide.
1.2x at a glance
| Per £5 bet | |
|---|---|
| Win chance | 80.8% |
| Win pays | +£1 |
| Loss costs | −£5 |
| Two losses in a row | 3.7% |
| Three losses in a row | 0.7% |
100 rounds at 1.2x, simulated
£250 budget, £5 flat bets, 100 rounds, 10,000 runs. Median finish: £236. The middle 80% landed between £206 and £266, the typical worst dip was £32, and no session went bust. Want a head-to-head? Our Martingale vs Anti-Martingale vs fixed cash out at 1.20x test runs three systems on this exact target.
1.2x vs its neighbours
| Target | Win chance | Profit per £5 win | Median after 100 rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1x | 88.2% | £0.50 | £234 |
| 1.2x | 80.8% | £1 | £236 |
| 1.5x | 64.7% | £2.50 | £237.50 |
All three medians sit close together because the RTP is the same; what changes is how wide the swings are. Our fixed auto cash out strategy shows the full picture.
Don’t pair 1.2x with doubling
At 1.2x, a win only returns 20% profit, so recovering one £5 loss plus your usual £1 profit needs a £30 bet. Doubling-style systems escalate fast; read the Martingale strategy first. Flat stakes are the way.
Play the 1.2x strategy
It works in Aviator, JetX and any crash game with auto cash out. For more calm-play ideas, see low-risk crash strategy. For odds in pounds and UK deposits, see Aviator UK.
Play smart: set a stop at +10–15%. At 1.2x, the profit builds slowly, so bank it when it’s there.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1.2x a good Aviator strategy?
It’s one of the most popular low-risk targets: you win about four rounds in five with small, steady swings. It doesn’t beat the 97% RTP over time.
What are the odds of 1.2x in Aviator?
About 0.97 ÷ 1.2 = 80.8% per round.
How many wins does one loss cost at 1.2x?
Five. A £5 win nets £1; a loss costs £5.
1.2x or 1.5x: which is better?
1.2x wins more often (80.8% vs 64.7%) but 1.5x pays more per win (£2.50 vs £1). 1.2x is calmer; 1.5x has a bit more upside.
How often do I lose twice in a row at 1.2x?
About 3.7% of the time, and three losses in a row about 0.7%.
Should I use Martingale with 1.2x?
It’s risky: after a loss you need a 6x bigger bet to recover at 1.2x. Flat bets are much safer.
