In head-to-head trial S296-0 across 288 deals (4-Shoe Streak, 1.4579% edge), HK 6-Step records a -72u peak ledger and 31.25% ruin probability on a 180-unit stack, whereas Flat Betting logs a -21u trough and 9.17% ruin under the 100-unit limit. 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.
