STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · D'ALEMBERT VS FLAT BETTING

D'Alembert Pyramid vs. Flat 1-Unit Baseline — 11-Hand Banker Run under No-Commission Banker 6 Half-Pay (74-Hand Stress Test)

Benchmark S203-0 tracks the sequential distribution between D'Alembert and Flat Betting over 74 hands of No-Comm Streak: with 90 units, a 65-unit cap, and 1.4579% house edge, ruin settles at 9.40% vs 4.92% while non-stationary decay-rate reaches -41u. 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.

Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 3 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 2 with Column 1, 1 column further back.
  2. Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 2, the one that just finished, with Column 1.
