In table-capped comparative trial S258-0, running Oscar's Grind against Flat Betting for 70 hands of No-Comm Chop (chop) on 65 units measures 1.90u vs 1.06u in expected toll and 12.28% vs 5.93% ruin under a 50-unit pit 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.
