Case M290-0 charts the finite-shoe D'Alembert Pyramid (+1 on loss / -1 on win) 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 39.47% ruin rate while computes an average stake cycle-span of 1.78x and 8.21u ($411) 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 M290 (D'Alembert Pyramid, 100u 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 M290 tests D'Alembert Pyramid with a $50 base unit and -50u/+25u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -50u drawdown barrier before completing 360 hands or reaching +25u.
Share of 360-hand trajectories reaching the +25u session ceiling, with 24.28% ending between barriers.
A 80-unit house limit and 100-unit stack cap D'Alembert escalation after 7 adverse coups.
Derived from 641u total action (1.78x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
In session-bounded benchmark M290-1, running D'Alembert across 360 deals with 100 units and a 80-unit maximum wager profiles 641u of total handle, 8.21u in commission-weighted drift, and a 39.47% probability of exhausting the 50-unit drawdown buffer.
Case M290-2 calibrates the variance-scaled D'Alembert Pyramid (+1 on loss / -1 on win) 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 39.47% ruin rate while evaluates an average stake capital-runway of 1.78x and 8.21u ($411) in theoretical house-edge toll.
| M290 Parameter | D'Alembert (100u) | 5-Shoe ledger |
|---|---|---|
| D'Alembert Ladder | +1 on loss / -1 on win (10 steps) | Peak 12u multiplier on M290 |
| 100u Stack Window | 360 hands (5 shoes) | Barriers -50u / +25u |
| 80u Ceiling & Ruin | 39.47% ruin vs 36.26% win | Depth 7 steps (4 cap hits) |
| 641u Handle & Hold | 8.21u ($411) | Multiplier 1.78x (house-edge-anchored drift) |
In step-indexed benchmark M290-3, running D'Alembert across 360 deals with 100 units and a 80-unit maximum wager dissects 641u of total handle, 8.21u in commission-weighted drift, and a 39.47% probability of exhausting the 50-unit drawdown buffer.
Case M290-4 evaluates the eight-deck D'Alembert Pyramid (+1 on loss / -1 on win) 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 39.47% ruin rate while inspects an average stake absorption-curve of 1.78x and 8.21u ($411) in theoretical house-edge toll.
