Within bankroll-constrained testbed S164-0, a 120-unit bankroll facing 148 coups of EZ Dragon Streak (streak) and a 80-unit maximum wager models 10.87% ruin (2.38u expected loss) on 1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder versus 6.01% ruin (1.58u expected loss) on Flat 1-Unit Baseline. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under EZ Baccarat 3-Card 7 Push (1.028% edge) (1.0284% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
