When a 150-unit stack enters a 3-shoe (216-hand) session using 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression, finite-shoe model M417-0 documents 384u in cumulative action and a 14.07% barrier-absorption probability before the 60-unit table maximum truncates the step-indexed profile. 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 M417 (2-1-2 Manhattan Progression, 150u bankroll, 216 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 3 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 1.
Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Matrix cell M417 tests 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression with a $50 base unit and -75u/+38u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -75u drawdown barrier before completing 216 hands or reaching +38u.
Share of 216-hand trajectories reaching the +38u session ceiling, with 44.00% ending between barriers.
A 60-unit house limit and 150-unit stack cap 2-1-2 Manhattan escalation after 6 adverse coups.
Derived from 384u total action (1.78x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
Testing 2-1-2 Manhattan (2-1-2-3-4-5) at 150 units across 216 coups in cell M417-1 benchmarks a 14.07% chance of striking the -75-unit stop-loss, while the 60-unit pit ceiling and 1.058% Banker edge impose 4.59u ($230) in expected erosion.
When a 150-unit stack enters a 3-shoe (216-hand) session using 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression, variance-scaled model M417-2 models 384u in cumulative action and a 14.07% barrier-absorption probability before the 60-unit table maximum truncates the multi-coup cadence.
