Bankroll management for crash games
Bankroll management is the only part of crash game “strategy” you fully control. It decides how long your money lasts and keeps every session under control. Read Aviator in Nigeria for the odds.
Example plan
| Step | Example |
|---|---|
| Monthly entertainment budget | ₦40,000 |
| Sessions per month | 4 |
| Session bankroll | ₦10,000 |
| Stake (2%) | ₦200 |
| Stop-loss | −₦5,000 |
| Stop-win | +₦5,000 |
At ₦200 a round and a 3% edge, the expected cost is about ₦6 per round, roughly ₦600 per 100 rounds.
Rules worth keeping
- Never top up mid-session.
- Never double after a loss. In our simulator, Martingale at 2x busted about half of 100-round sessions.
- Use the operator’s deposit limits.
