Under Player 1:1 Streak (1.2351% effective edge), stochastic stress run S167-0 over 216 hands and a 140-unit treasury inspects a -30u drawdown (14.47% ruin) for 1-2-3-5 Four-Step Ladder against -17u (8.20% ruin) for Flat 1-Unit Baseline inside a 90-unit cap. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under Even-Money Player Side (1.235% edge) (1.2351% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
