Across 360 eight-deck hands (5 shoes), asymmetric simulation M205-0 for 1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder on a 30-unit bankroll evaluates a 94.80% risk-of-ruin figure, models 2 ceiling-collision events against the 80-unit cap and a 0.50% mid-corridor finish rate. 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 M205 (1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder, 30u bankroll, 360 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.
This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
Matrix cell M205 tests 1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder with a $50 base unit and -15u/+8u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -15u drawdown barrier before completing 360 hands or reaching +8u.
Share of 360-hand trajectories reaching the +8u session ceiling, with 0.50% ending between barriers.
A 80-unit house limit and 30-unit stack cap 1-2-3-5 escalation after 5 adverse coups.
Derived from 410u total action (1.14x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
Cell M205-1 audits the combinatorial trajectory of a 30-unit 1-2-3-5 plan over 360 hands: because each hand remains independent at 1.058% Banker edge, scaling stakes toward the 80-unit ceiling elevates total turnover to 410u and sets ruin at 94.80%.
Across 360 eight-deck hands (5 shoes), non-stationary simulation M205-2 for 1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder on a 30-unit bankroll tracks a 94.80% risk-of-ruin figure, dissects 2 ceiling-collision events against the 80-unit cap and a 0.50% mid-corridor finish rate.
| M205 Parameter | 1-2-3-5 (30u) | 5-Shoe cycle-span |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2-3-5 Ladder | 1-2-3-5 (4 steps) | Peak 5u multiplier on M205 |
| 30u Stack Window | 360 hands (5 shoes) | Barriers -15u / +8u |
| 80u Ceiling & Ruin | 94.80% ruin vs 19.77% win | Depth 5 steps (2 cap hits) |
| 410u Handle & Hold | 4.81u ($240) | Multiplier 1.14x (commission-adjusted drift) |
Cell M205-3 measures the table-capped cycle-span of a 30-unit 1-2-3-5 plan over 360 hands: because each hand remains independent at 1.058% Banker edge, scaling stakes toward the 80-unit ceiling elevates total turnover to 410u and sets ruin at 94.80%.
Across 360 eight-deck hands (5 shoes), house-edge-anchored simulation M205-4 for 1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder on a 30-unit bankroll maps a 94.80% risk-of-ruin figure, computes 2 ceiling-collision events against the 80-unit cap and a 0.50% mid-corridor finish rate.
