The 3x strategy means setting auto cash out at 3x on every bet: you win about 32.3% of rounds and each win turns R50 into R150. It is the balanced value target in Aviator, JetX and Spaceman at Hollywoodbets, Betway or a partner crypto casino. Below: the real win chance, how long the cold runs get, a 1,000-session simulator test in rand and how to set it up. This is one of the setups in our crash game strategy guide.

How the 3x auto cash out strategy works

Set auto cash out at 3x and keep the same stake every round. With a 97% RTP the multiplier reaches 3x in 32.3% of rounds, so you land a win about once every 3.1 rounds. Each win adds R100 profit on a R50 bet. Wins come often and small, which keeps your balance smooth. Our auto cashout strategy guide compares the targets side by side.

3x vs other auto cash out targets

Target Win chance Profit per R50 win Rounds per win
1.1x 88.2% R5 1.1
1.2x 80.8% R10 1.2
1.5x 64.7% R25 1.5
2x 48.5% R50 2.1
3x (this one) 32.3% R100 3.1
5x 19.4% R200 5.2
10x 9.7% R450 10.3
100x 0.97% R4,950 103.1

Higher targets pay more per win but miss more often. crash game 100x odds shows the long-shot maths in full.

Simulator test: 3x over 100 rounds

We ran the 3x strategy through our simulator: 1,000 sessions of 100 rounds, a R2,500 bankroll and R50 bets. The median session finished on R2,300, the luckiest 10% on R3,200 or more and the coldest 10% on R1,550 or less. Not one session went bust. That tight spread is why players love low targets for long sessions. Run your own numbers in the simulator below, or practise free in our free crash game.

Cold runs at 3x

Every target has losing streaks. At 3x the chance of missing:

  • 3 rounds in a row: 31.0%
  • 5 rounds in a row: 14.2%
  • 10 rounds in a row: 2.0%

Short cold runs are normal and cheap at this target; keep the stake flat and the wins come back. The crash game bankroll management guide shows how to size your bankroll for it.

Best games for the 3x strategy

The target works on any crash game with auto cash out. Hollywoodbets Aviator at 97% RTP is the classic choice, JetX South Africa works the same way, and Spaceman South Africa runs at 95% RTP, so every target hits slightly less often there.

Set it up in South Africa
