STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · LABOUCHERE VS OSCAR'S GRIND

Labouchere Split-Line vs. Oscar's Grind 1-Unit Cycle — 11-Hand Banker Run under No-Commission Banker 6 Half-Pay (74-Hand Stress Test)

During 74 deals of No-Comm Streak (streak) in audit S357-0, Labouchere Split-Line ([1-2-3-2-1] outside sum) and Oscar's Grind 1-Unit Cycle (hold on loss / +1 on win) navigate 6 tie pushes on a 90-unit roll with a 65-unit cap, computes 13.40% vs 7.25% ruin and 2.11u in commission drag. 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.
