Under 4-Shoe Streak (1.4579% effective edge), absorbing-barrier stress run S282-0 over 288 hands and a 180-unit treasury measures a -41u drawdown (14.70% ruin) for 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression against -22u (9.17% ruin) for Flat 1-Unit Baseline inside a 100-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.
