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 ₦1,000 units it finished with a median of ₦43,000 from ₦50,000, with the top 10% on ₦77,000 or more. Here’s how to run it on SportyBet, Bet9ja, BetKing or a partner crypto casino, with naira examples. More systems in our Aviator game Nigeria 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 ₦1,000 unit:
| Round | Stake | Result | Running profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ₦1,000 | Loss | −₦1,000 |
| 2 | ₦1,000 | Loss | −₦2,000 |
| 3 | ₦1,000 | Win at 2x | −₦1,000 |
| 4 | ₦3,000 | Loss | −₦4,000 |
| 5 | ₦1,000 | Win at 2x | −₦3,000 |
| 6 | ₦3,000 | Win at 2x | ₦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 naira
We ran the 1-3-2-6 system at 2x through our simulator: 1,000 sessions of 100 rounds, a ₦50,000 bankroll and ₦1,000 bets. The median session finished on ₦43,000, the luckiest 10% on ₦77,000 or more and the coldest 10% on ₦14,000 or less. 3.3% of sessions ran the bankroll below one bet. For comparison, flat ₦1,000 bets at 2x finished on a median of ₦48,000 with 0% busts. Try your own settings in the free crash game or with the simulator below.
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.
