Under No-Comm Chop (1.4579% effective edge), table-capped stress run S160-0 over 70 hands and a 65-unit treasury verifies a -21u drawdown (14.83% ruin) for 1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder against -13u (5.93% ruin) for Flat 1-Unit Baseline inside a 50-unit cap. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under No-Commission Banker 6 (0.50:1 on 6) (1.4579% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
