STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · PAROLI VS FLAT BETTING

Paroli 3-Step Press vs. Flat 1-Unit Baseline — 11-Hand Banker Run under No-Commission Banker 6 Half-Pay (74-Hand Stress Test)

Under No-Comm Streak (1.4579% effective edge), sequential stress run S133-0 over 74 hands and a 90-unit treasury models a -37u drawdown (8.34% ruin) for Paroli 3-Step Press against -22u (4.92% ruin) for Flat 1-Unit Baseline inside a 65-unit cap. 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.

Big Eye Boy Mark #2

Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 3 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 2 with Column 1, 1 column further back.
  2. Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 2, the one that just finished, with Column 1.
