STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · LABOUCHERE VS OSCAR'S GRIND

Labouchere Split-Line vs. Oscar's Grind 1-Unit Cycle — Two-Shoe Doublet Chop under EZ Baccarat Dragon 7 Push (144-Hand Stress Test)

Across 144 resolved and tied deals under EZ Dragon Chop (1.0284% edge), step-indexed comparison S359-0 calibrates Labouchere Split-Line against Oscar's Grind 1-Unit Cycle on a 100-unit bankroll, showing that 3-hand clusters and a 75-unit ceiling drive 24.14% vs 12.46% stop-loss breaches along the eight-deck decay-rate. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under EZ Baccarat 3-Card 7 Push (1.028% edge) (1.0284% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.

Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
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.

Small Road Mark #2

Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 2, 2 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 5 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
