In head-to-head trial S228-0 across 75 deals (5% Comm Streak, 1.0579% edge), Labouchere records a -47u peak survival-window and 14.24% ruin probability on a 80-unit stack, whereas Flat Betting logs a -19u trough and 4.80% ruin under the 60-unit limit. 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.
