STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · LABOUCHERE VS FLAT BETTING

Labouchere Split-Line vs. Flat 1-Unit Baseline — Ping-Pong Chop Shoe under No-Commission Banker 6 Half-Pay (70-Hand Stress Test)

Benchmark S230-0 documents the table-capped profile between Labouchere and Flat Betting over 70 hands of No-Comm Chop: with 65 units, a 50-unit cap, and 1.4579% house edge, ruin settles at 17.62% vs 5.93% while sequential decay-rate reaches -22u. 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.
