Stop loss and take profit are the two numbers that end your crash session: a loss limit (for example -40% of your budget) and a win target (for example +25%). Hit either and you stop. Examples use KSh 100 bets from KSh 5,000. Part of our crash game strategy guide.

Setting the levels

Rule Example (KSh 5,000 budget)
Take profit +25% Stop at KSh 6,250
Take profit +50% Stop at KSh 7,500
Stop loss -40% Stop at KSh 3,000
Stop loss -100% Stop when the budget is gone

At a 2x auto cash out with flat KSh 100 bets, our simulator (50 stakes = KSh 5,000, 100 rounds, 1,000 sessions), the typical session ended at KSh 4,800, the middle 80% finished between KSh 3,600 and KSh 6,000, and 0% of sessions ran out of budget.

How to use them in Aviator

  1. Write both numbers down before the first round.
  2. Set auto bet with its stop options if your casino has them.
  3. Check your balance every 25 rounds.
  4. When a level hits, cash out of the session and take a break.

Pair your limits with the bankroll management guide, the crash session length guide and the fixed auto cash out strategy. Test your own in the crash strategy simulator.

Playing this plan in Kenya

Kenyan pilots run this plan the same way on Betika, SportPesa, Odibets or a partner casino, because the maths is identical everywhere. Top up with M-Pesa (steps in our Aviator M-Pesa guide), keep stakes in round shillings such as KSh 50, KSh 100 or KSh 200 so tracking is easy, and treat rain free bets as a bonus on top of your budget, not part of it. More local tips in the Betika Aviator guide.

Common mistakes

  • Changing the plan mid-session after a loss. Decide everything before the first round.
  • Raising stakes to win it back. Keep bets flat unless your system says otherwise.
  • Playing past your limits. When the win target or the stop point hits, the session is done.

Play with a plan

Take your limits to the Aviator game at our partner casinos.

Play smart: a take profit you actually take is worth more than any trick.
