Within step-indexed horizon M218-0, a 150-unit treasury backing 1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder for 720 hands (10 shoes) faces a 100-unit bet cap that quantifies 46.55% ruin exposure, 33.25% target attainment at +38u, and 20.20% time-limit expiration. Every 8-deck hand remains statistically independent (45.86% Banker, 44.62% Player, 9.52% Tie), meaning progression sizing reshapes session variance without altering the house edge.
Reference 8-deck shoe for Matrix Cell M218 (1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder, 150u bankroll, 720 hands). Big Road and Bead Plate show Banker (red) and Player (blue); derived roads record structural symmetry.
Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 2, the one that just finished, with Column 1.
Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).
