Stop loss and take profit in crash games

A stop loss and take profit in crash games are the two numbers that end your session: one at a set loss, one at a set win. Set them before the first round, for example −20% and +25% of your budget, and enter them in auto bet so they trigger on their own. They don’t change the RTP, but they change everything about how sessions end: good nights get banked, bad ones get capped. Below are the real odds of hitting each one first, so you can pick levels that fit how you play. Part of our crash game strategy guide.

The odds of hitting each stop first

$10 flat bets at 2x (48.5% win chance), starting from $500, playing until one stop triggers. Worked out exactly with the gambler’s ruin formula:

Take profit	Stop loss	Take profit hit first	Fair coin would be
+$50	−$100	56.3%	66.7%
+$100	−$100	35.4%	50.0%
+$120	−$100	30.0%	45.5%
+$250	−$100	11.5%	28.6%

Two lessons: smaller take profits are hit more often, and the gap to a fair coin is the 3% house edge at work. The longer the session runs, the more it shows.

Picking your levels

• Steady player: take profit +10%, stop loss −20%. You’ll bank small wins often.
• Balanced: +25% and −20%.
• Big-hit hunter: a higher take profit with smaller bets, as in the 10x strategy.

Your bet size and target matter too; see the bankroll management guide and the fixed auto cash out strategy.

Setting stops in auto bet

In Aviator’s auto play, use “stop if cash decreases by” for the stop loss and “stop if cash increases by” for the take profit. Other games call them stop on loss and stop on profit. Full walk-through: auto bet and auto cash out setup.

Stops and session length

A round limit is a third stop. Even flat bets drift with the RTP over long sessions: at 2x our simulations finished at a median $460 after 100 rounds but $340 after 500. Read how long a crash session should be.

Play smart: the take profit is the stop players ignore. When it triggers, close the game; the win is already yours.
