Benchmark S257-0 computes the asymmetric cadence between Oscar's Grind and Flat Betting over 78 hands of 5% Comm High-Tie: with 75 units, a 50-unit cap, and 1.0579% house edge, ruin settles at 14.30% vs 5.52% while session-bounded decay-rate reaches -21u. 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.

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).
