Sequential profile M402-0 dissects 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression over a 3-shoe (216-hand) horizon with 20 units: combinatorial escalation (2-1-2-3-4-5, 6 steps) interacts with the 60-unit limit to measures a 94.80% ruin rate and a sequential absorption-curve of 1.10x. 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 M402 (2-1-2 Manhattan Progression, 20u 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.
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 M402 tests 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression with a $50 base unit and -10u/+6u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -10u drawdown barrier before completing 216 hands or reaching +6u.
Share of 216-hand trajectories reaching the +6u session ceiling, with 0.50% ending between barriers.
A 60-unit house limit and 20-unit stack cap 2-1-2 Manhattan escalation after 5 adverse coups.
Derived from 238u total action (1.10x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
Under configuration M402-1, deploying 2-1-2 Manhattan with 20 base units over 216 resolved hands (3 shoes) evaluates a non-stationary exposure: hitting the 60-unit house cap after 5 adverse steps drives a 94.80% stop-loss breach rate against a 16.68% chance of reaching the +6-unit target.
Sequential profile M402-2 audits 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression over a 3-shoe (216-hand) horizon with 20 units: table-capped escalation (2-1-2-3-4-5, 6 steps) interacts with the 60-unit limit to quantifies a 94.80% ruin rate and a non-stationary trajectory of 1.10x.
| M402 Parameter | 2-1-2 Manhattan (20u) | 3-Shoe boundary |
|---|---|---|
| 2-1-2 Manhattan Ladder | 2-1-2-3-4-5 (6 steps) | Peak 5u multiplier on M402 |
| 20u Stack Window | 216 hands (3 shoes) | Barriers -10u / +6u |
| 60u Ceiling & Ruin | 94.80% ruin vs 16.68% win | Depth 5 steps (1 cap hits) |
| 238u Handle & Hold | 2.85u ($143) | Multiplier 1.10x (stochastic drift) |
Under configuration M402-3, deploying 2-1-2 Manhattan with 20 base units over 216 resolved hands (3 shoes) tracks a house-edge-anchored profile: hitting the 60-unit house cap after 5 adverse steps drives a 94.80% stop-loss breach rate against a 16.68% chance of reaching the +6-unit target.
Sequential profile M402-4 measures 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression over a 3-shoe (216-hand) horizon with 20 units: stochastic escalation (2-1-2-3-4-5, 6 steps) interacts with the 60-unit limit to maps a 94.80% ruin rate and a discrete-time dispersion of 1.10x.
