The 1-3-2-6 strategy in crash games is simple: bet 1, then 3, then 2, then 6 units after consecutive wins; any loss sends you back to 1, and after the 6 you restart. It is a positive progression system that pairs naturally with a 2x auto cash out in Aviator, Stake Crash or JetX. In our 1,000-session test with GH₵20 units it finished with a median of GH₵860 from GH₵1,000, with the top 10% on GH₵1,540 or more. Here’s how to run it on SportyBet Ghana, Betway Ghana or a partner crypto casino, with cedi examples. More systems in our crash game strategy guide.

How the 1-3-2-6 system works

The rule: bet 1, then 3, then 2, then 6 units after consecutive wins; any loss sends you back to 1, and after the 6 you restart. Here is how six rounds play out at 2x auto cash out with a GH₵20 unit:

Round Stake Result Running profit
1 GH₵20 Loss −GH₵20
2 GH₵20 Loss −GH₵40
3 GH₵20 Win at 2x −GH₵20
4 GH₵60 Loss −GH₵80
5 GH₵20 Win at 2x −GH₵60
6 GH₵60 Win at 2x GH₵0

The stake moves with your results, which is the whole idea: the system decides your next bet so you never have to.

1-3-2-6 simulator test in cedi

We ran the 1-3-2-6 system at 2x through our simulator: 1,000 sessions of 100 rounds, a GH₵1,000 bankroll and GH₵20 bets. The median session finished on GH₵860, the luckiest 10% on GH₵1,540 or more and the coldest 10% on GH₵280 or less. 3.3% of sessions ran the bankroll below one bet. For comparison, flat GH₵20 bets at 2x finished on a median of GH₵960 with 0% busts. Try your own settings in the crash game simulator.

What 1-3-2-6 does well

  • Your stake only rises after wins, so losses always cost one unit at the bottom of the ladder.
  • A full four-win ladder at 2x banks 12 units of profit.
  • Very low bust rate in our test.

Worth knowing:

  • Four wins in a row at 2x happen about 5.5% of the time, so full ladders are rare.
  • A loss on the 6-unit step gives back most of that ladder.
