Within eight-deck testbed S353-0, a 60-unit bankroll facing 72 coups of 5% Comm Chop (chop) and a 50-unit maximum wager tabulates 18.67% ruin (2.41u expected loss) on Labouchere Split-Line versus 9.23% ruin (1.25u expected loss) on Oscar's Grind 1-Unit Cycle. 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.
