Crash Auto-Cashout: 1.5x vs 2x vs 10x
A 2x auto-cashout target and a 10x auto-cashout target have identical long-run EV. They have wildly different ways of getting there.
Same EV, different rides
At 96% effective RTP, the probability of any cashout target M hitting before the round busts is approximately R/M — so 48% at 2x, 9.6% at 10x, 1.92% at 50x. The expected value works out to 0.96 dollars per dollar staked in all three cases.
What changes is the distribution of outcomes around that mean. 2x cashout gives you a win-just-under-half-the-time experience: doubles your money, a few losses, doubles again. 10x cashout gives you eight losses for every win. 50x cashout is mostly losses with a rare jackpot.
Cashout target is a variance dial, not an EV dial. Pick by how much drama you can stand, not by which number sounds clever.
A hundred bets at three targets
Imagine $1 per bet, 100 bets. At 2x: you win about 48 times, lose 52 times. Net result hovers near -$4 in expectation, with smallish swings around it.
At 10x: you win about 10 times, lose 90 times. Same expected loss of about -$4, but your bankroll path looks like a long flatline punctuated by sudden +$10 jumps.
At 50x: maybe two wins out of 100. Expected loss still around -$4. Bankroll path is a long downward slide with occasional dramatic recovery.
The 49.99x ceiling
Auto-cashout caps at 49.99x server-side. Setting 50x or higher silently gets clamped. The reason: real-cap rounds top out at exactly 50.00x, and a 50x auto-cashout would never fire because the round busts before reaching the target due to floating-point edge cases.
If you want to chase the absolute peak, set 49.99x and accept that you'll hit it in roughly one round out of fifty.
Combining with stop rules
Auto-cashout pairs well with session-level rules. Pick a target, set a stop-loss at -50% of your starting balance, set a take-profit at +50%. Stop the moment either triggers, no exceptions.
The long-run loss rate doesn't change — that's fixed by the house edge — but stop rules limit how dramatic any single session gets. Variance management is the only knob you control. Use it.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the best cashout target for profit?
- There isn't one. Every target has the same long-run loss rate. Pick the variance level you can stand.
- Why won't my 100x auto-cashout fire?
- Server-side cap at 49.99x. The 100x figure is visual-only on empty rounds. Real cap is 50.00x — auto-cashout can't exceed it.
- Is 1.01x basically a guaranteed win?
- It hits about 95% of the time, which feels guaranteed until it isn't. Some rounds bust at 1.00x exactly — those are losses. Long-run still negative-EV.
- Can the bankroll calculator compare targets?
- Yes. /tools/crash-ev shows hit probability, EV per dollar, and expected ruin time for any target, stake size, and bankroll.
