STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · 2-1-2 MANHATTAN VS FLAT BETTING

2-1-2 Manhattan Progression vs. Flat 1-Unit Baseline — Two-Shoe High-Tie Stall under EZ Baccarat Dragon 7 Push (152-Hand Stress Test)

Stress test S277-0 tabulates 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression (2-1-2-3-4-5) against Flat 1-Unit Baseline (1-1-1-1 constant unit) inside a 110-unit bankroll over 152 hands (EZ High-Tie, high-tie), where a 75-unit table ceiling produces 17.71% vs 6.96% ruin rates and tabulates 1.22u in commission-adjusted vigorish drag. 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.
