STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · FIBONACCI VS FLAT BETTING

Fibonacci Negative Sequence vs. Flat 1-Unit Baseline — Four-Shoe Alternating Sawtooth under 5% Banker Commission (288-Hand Stress Test)

Benchmark S183-0 calibrates the variance-scaled drawdown-slope between Fibonacci and Flat Betting over 288 hands of 4-Shoe Chop: with 160 units, a 100-unit cap, and 1.0579% house edge, ruin settles at 26.65% vs 9.92% while multi-coup decay-rate reaches -26u. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under 5% Banker Commission (0.95:1) (1.0579% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.

Reference 8-deck shoe for Stress Cell S183 (Fibonacci vs Flat Betting, Four-Shoe Alternating Sawtooth under 5% Banker Commission). Big Road shows Banker (red) and Player (blue); derived roads track symmetry.

Big Road B is Banker, P is Player Roads under it Red (=): repeating Blue (≠): breaking
Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 2 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Small Road Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 1, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

VIGORISH & TABLE CEILING INTERACTION

4-Shoe Chop Vigorish (4.22u) & 9.38% Tie Push Audit (S183)

When 4-Shoe Chop (chop) injects a 3-hand extreme run and 27 tie pushes (9.38% Tie density) over 288 coups, asymmetric audit S183-3 measures Fibonacci Negative Sequence at 8.80u expected erosion (26.65% ruin) compared with 3.17u (9.92% ruin) for Flat 1-Unit Baseline on 160 units.

Benchmark S183-4 dissects the finite-shoe survival-window between Fibonacci and Flat Betting over 288 hands of 4-Shoe Chop: with 160 units, a 100-unit cap, and 1.0579% house edge, ruin settles at 26.65% vs 9.92% while step-indexed survival-window reaches -26u.

  • Trial S183: set a 160u stop before running Fibonacci vs Flat Betting over 288 hands.
  • Scenario S183 inspects 4.22u in commission drag and 27 tie pushes (9.38% Tie rate).
  • Board rule S183: derived road red marks absorbing-barrier column repetition and blue marks a structural break (distribution), never Banker or Player.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythSwitching from Flat Betting to Fibonacci during Four-Shoe Alternating Sawtooth under 5% Banker Commission neutralizes the 1.0579% house edge.
TruthOver 288 hands on a 160-unit stack, Fibonacci carries 8.80u expected loss (26.65% ruin) vs 3.17u (9.92% ruin) for Flat Betting.
MythDuring a 3-hand chop sequence, red marks on Big Eye Boy or Small Road indicate Banker is favored next.
TruthDerived road colors never represent Banker or Player: red denotes repeatingBig Road structure and blue denotes breaking structure.
