The Aviator 1.5x strategy wins about 64.7% of rounds: set auto cash out at 1.50x and you’ll win roughly two rounds in three. Each £5 win nets £2.50 and each loss costs £5, so one bust cancels two wins. That balance of hit rate and payout is why 1.5x is the sweet spot for so many players, and why it’s the base of the classic two-bet split. Real numbers below, from 10,000 simulated sessions. Part of our crash game strategy guide.

100 rounds at 1.5x, simulated

£250 budget, £5 bets, 100 rounds, 10,000 runs: median £237.50, best 10% at £282.50 or more, worst 10% at £185, typical worst dip £45, no busts. A good chunk of sessions finish in profit, and the bad ones stay manageable. See every target side by side in our fixed auto cash out strategy.

Pair 1.5x with a 10x shot

Put £5 at 1.5x on bet 1 and £1 at 10x on bet 2. Bet 1 lands about two in three; bet 2 pays £10 about one in ten. Our 10,000-run test of that split finished at a median £232.50 with the best 10% at £297.50+. The full guide: dual bet strategy and our safe bet, risky bet split.

Step up or step down

Want calmer? The 1.2x strategy wins four in five. Want bigger hits? The 2x strategy doubles your stake about half the time. For the long shots, read chasing high multipliers.

Play the 1.5x strategy

It works in Aviator, JetX and Spaceman. Try it in the simulator below. Or rehearse in the free-play crash game.

Play smart: 1.5x is a plan, not a minimum. Don’t override auto cash out mid-round chasing 3x.
