Hong Kong 6-Step Cruise — 20-Unit Bankroll & 1-Shoe (72-Hand) Risk-of-Ruin Matrix

Case M426-0 documents the asymmetric Hong Kong 6-Step Cruise (1-3-7-15-31-63) across a 20-unit bankroll and a 72-hand (1-shoe) window, where a 40-unit table ceiling and 10-unit stop-loss produce a 71.25% ruin rate while verifies an average stake envelope of 1.46x and 1.63u ($41) in theoretical house-edge toll. Every 8-deck hand remains statistically independent (45.86% Banker, 44.62% Player, 9.52% Tie), meaning progression sizing reshapes session variance without altering the house edge.

Reference 8-deck shoe for Matrix Cell M426 (Hong Kong 6-Step Cruise, 20u bankroll, 72 hands). Big Road and Bead Plate show Banker (red) and Player (blue); derived roads record structural symmetry.

Big Road B is Banker, P is Player Roads under it Red (=): repeating Blue (≠): breaking
Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 2 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1.
  2. 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.

Small Road Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. 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.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 1, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

HK 6-Step 20u step-indexed progression-curve Across 72 Hands (M426)

In combinatorial benchmark M426-1, running HK 6-Step across 72 deals with 20 units and a 40-unit maximum wager benchmarks 105u of total handle, 1.63u in commission-weighted drift, and a 71.25% probability of exhausting the 10-unit drawdown buffer.

Case M426-2 models the non-stationary Hong Kong 6-Step Cruise (1-3-7-15-31-63) across a 20-unit bankroll and a 72-hand (1-shoe) window, where a 40-unit table ceiling and 10-unit stop-loss produce a 71.25% ruin rate while tracks an average stake trajectory of 1.46x and 1.63u ($41) in theoretical house-edge toll.

40u Ceiling Collisions & HK 6-Step Turnover (1 Shoes)

In table-capped benchmark M426-3, running HK 6-Step across 72 deals with 20 units and a 40-unit maximum wager computes 105u of total handle, 1.63u in commission-weighted drift, and a 71.25% probability of exhausting the 10-unit drawdown buffer.

Case M426-4 inspects the house-edge-anchored Hong Kong 6-Step Cruise (1-3-7-15-31-63) across a 20-unit bankroll and a 72-hand (1-shoe) window, where a 40-unit table ceiling and 10-unit stop-loss produce a 71.25% ruin rate while tabulates an average stake cycle-span of 1.46x and 1.63u ($41) in theoretical house-edge toll.

  • Cell M426 rule: lock the -10u stop on your 20u HK 6-Step stack across 72 hands.
  • Matrix M426 calibrates 1.63u ($41) in house hold over 105u of HK 6-Step action.
  • Scoreboard check M426: Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig use red for repeating symmetry (step-indexed progression-curve) and blue for pattern breaks—never for Banker or Player.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythBringing 20 units to a 1-shoe session lets Hong Kong 6-Step Cruise overcome the 1.058% Banker house edge.
TruthNo bankroll size alters per-hand expectation: over 72 hands, HK 6-Step generates 105u in action, 1.63u in expected loss, and a 71.25% stop-loss ruin rate.
MythDerived road colors on the scoreboard tell HK 6-Step bettors whether Banker (red) or Player (blue) is due during a 72-hand run.
TruthOn Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig, red indicates repeating column structure and blue indicates breaking structure; neither color represents Banker or Player.
