Two Bets Strategy in Aviator: 1.5x Insurance and a Flight to 5x

The two bets strategy is the most popular “advanced” scheme for playing Aviator. The idea is simple: the first bet with auto cash-out at 1.5x works as insurance and returns the cost of the whole round, while the second one flies for a high multiplier — 3x, 5x or above. In two rounds out of three you lose nothing, and when the plane reaches the target you collect a full win. Let’s break down the insurance math, the correct bet ratio and the typical mistakes.

How the two bets strategy works

The Aviator interface has two independent betting panels, and this scheme is exactly what they were made for. If you don’t feel confident with a single panel yet, master the one bet strategy first — the two-bet scheme is its logical continuation.

The roles of the bets are clearly separated:

The insurance bet — the larger one, always with auto cash-out at a low multiplier (classically 1.5x). Its job is to return the money invested in the round.
The flight bet — the smaller one, aiming for a high multiplier (3–10x). This is the one that makes the profit.
No manual decisions: both bets run on automation, you just watch.

The insurance math: the ratio formula

For the insurance to truly cover the whole round, the bet sizes must match the cash-out multiplier. The formula is simple: flight bet = insurance bet × (cash-out multiplier − 1). For the classic 1.5x cash-out this means a 2:1 ratio — the insurance is twice the flight bet.

Let’s check: a $2 insurance bet cashing out at 1.5x returns $3 — exactly what the whole round costs ($2 + $1). So if the plane reaches at least 1.5x (which is ≈65% of rounds by the 0.97 / X formula), the round is free for you, and the flight bet plays with house money.

Variant	Insurance	Flight	Ratio	Round pays for itself in
Conservative	1.5x	3x	2:1	≈65% of rounds
Classic	1.5x	5x	2:1	≈65% of rounds
Aggressive	2x	7–10x	1:1	≈48% of rounds

An honest reminder: insurance doesn’t cancel the house edge. If the round crashes before 1.5x (≈35% of cases), both bets burn, so the expected value stays the same — around −3%. The strategy doesn’t beat the casino, it beats your own greed: it structures the game and makes the outcome more predictable.

Step-by-step setup

Open Aviator and activate both betting panels.
On the first panel, enable “Auto Bet” and “Auto Cash Out” at 1.50.
On the second panel — “Auto Bet” and “Auto Cash Out” at your target multiplier (for example, 5.00).
Set the sizes by the formula: insurance twice the flight bet (for 1.5x).
The total cost of a round (both bets) — no more than 2–3% of your bankroll.
Set a session limit: a number of rounds or a maximum loss at which you stop.

A round example in numbers

Bankroll $100. Insurance $2 (cash-out 1.5x), flight $1 (cash-out 5x). Three possible scenarios:

Crash before 1.5x (≈35%): minus $3.
Plane between 1.5x and 5x (≈46%): insurance returned $3 — the round breaks even.
Plane reached 5x (≈19%): $3 from insurance + $5 from the flight = $8 from the round, net profit +$5.

You can try these scenarios risk-free in the Aviator demo — the mechanics are identical to real-money play.

Pros and cons of the strategy

Pros	Cons
≈65% of rounds are free — insurance returns the stake	A round costs more: two bets instead of one
You can hunt high multipliers without stress	The 3% house edge never goes away
Full automation of both panels	Requires discipline with the bet ratio
Flexible: multipliers adjust to your style	A crash before 1.5x burns both bets

Typical mistakes

Equal bets on both panels with high targets. Without insurance that’s just double risk, not a strategy.
A broken ratio. If the flight bet is more than half the insurance (at 1.5x), the insurance cash-out no longer covers the round.
Flying the second bet manually. “I’ll hold it just a bit longer” is the most expensive phrase in Aviator. Auto cash-out makes the decision for you.
Chasing 50–100x every round. Such multipliers land in ≈1–2% of rounds — the flight bet will almost always burn, and the insurance won’t save your bankroll.

Where to try the strategy

Both betting panels are available in the original Aviator by Spribe at any licensed casino. Convenient options with quick registration and a minimum bet from $0.10 are Pin-Up and 1Win; you can boost your starting bankroll with a deposit bonus (see the bonuses page).

FAQ

Does the two bets strategy guarantee profit?

No. In ≈35% of rounds the crash happens before 1.5x and both bets lose. The strategy structures the game and reduces emotional decisions, but the casino’s mathematical edge (≈3%) remains.

What is the correct bet ratio?

Flight = insurance × (insurance cash-out multiplier − 1). For a 1.5x cash-out that’s 2:1 ($2 insurance, $1 flight). For a 2x cash-out — 1:1.

How is this better than the one bet strategy?

With a single bet you either slowly stack +50% wins or risk everything for a 5x. Two bets combine both approaches: the insurance stabilises the bankroll while the flight bet keeps a shot at a big win. For beginners we still recommend starting with one bet.

Can both bets run on full automation?

Yes, and that’s exactly how it should be done: first panel — auto cash-out at 1.5x, second — auto cash-out at the target multiplier. Full automation removes the scheme’s main risk — the temptation to “hold a bit longer” manually.
