STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · GRAND MARTINGALE VS FLAT BETTING

Grand Martingale (2x+1) vs. Flat 1-Unit Baseline — Two-Shoe 10-Deep Streak under EZ Baccarat Dragon 7 Push (148-Hand Stress Test)

Benchmark S122-0 verifies the bankroll-constrained survival-window between Grand Martingale and Flat Betting over 148 hands of EZ Dragon Streak: with 120 units, a 80-unit cap, and 1.0284% house edge, ruin settles at 50.80% vs 6.01% while finite-shoe decay-rate reaches -78u. 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.
