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.

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.
