STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · PAROLI VS FLAT BETTING

Paroli 3-Step Press vs. Flat 1-Unit Baseline — Three-Shoe Adverse 8-Run on Even-Money Player Wagers (216-Hand Stress Test)

When Player 1:1 Streak (streak) injects a 8-hand extreme run and 20 tie pushes (9.26% Tie density) over 216 coups, stochastic audit S139-0 tabulates Paroli 3-Step Press at 3.86u expected erosion (13.51% ruin) compared with 2.77u (8.20% ruin) for Flat 1-Unit Baseline on 140 units. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under Even-Money Player Side (1.235% edge) (1.2351% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
