Under No-Comm Chop (1.4579% effective edge), table-capped stress run S356-0 over 70 hands and a 65-unit treasury charts a -22u drawdown (17.62% ruin) for Labouchere Split-Line against -11u (8.98% ruin) for Oscar's Grind 1-Unit Cycle inside a 50-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.
