2-1-2 Manhattan Progression — 100-Unit Bankroll & 5-Shoe (360-Hand) Risk-of-Ruin Matrix

Case M415-0 tabulates the eight-deck 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression (2-1-2-3-4-5) across a 100-unit bankroll and a 360-hand (5-shoe) window, where a 80-unit table ceiling and 50-unit stop-loss produce a 36.46% ruin rate while evaluates an average stake threshold of 1.52x and 6.54u ($327) in theoretical house-edge toll. 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 M415 (2-1-2 Manhattan Progression, 100u bankroll, 360 hands). Big Road and Bead Plate show Banker (red) and Player (blue); derived roads record structural symmetry.

Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy Mark #2

Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 3 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 2 with Column 1, 1 column further back.
  2. 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.

Small Road Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. 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.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. 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.

  • Cell M415 rule: lock the -50u stop on your 100u 2-1-2 Manhattan stack across 360 hands.
  • Matrix M415 models 6.54u ($327) in house hold over 547u of 2-1-2 Manhattan action.
  • Scoreboard check M415: Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig use red for repeating symmetry (multi-coup footprint) and blue for pattern breaks—never for Banker or Player.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythBringing 100 units to a 5-shoe session lets 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression overcome the 1.058% Banker house edge.
TruthNo bankroll size alters per-hand expectation: over 360 hands, 2-1-2 Manhattan generates 547u in action, 6.54u in expected loss, and a 36.46% stop-loss ruin rate.
MythDerived road colors on the scoreboard tell 2-1-2 Manhattan bettors whether Banker (red) or Player (blue) is due during a 360-hand run.
TruthOn Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig, red indicates repeating column structure and blue indicates breaking structure; neither color represents Banker or Player.
