STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · LABOUCHERE VS OSCAR'S GRIND

Labouchere Split-Line vs. Oscar's Grind 1-Unit Cycle — Three-Shoe Adverse 8-Run on Even-Money Player Wagers (216-Hand Stress Test)

Under Player 1:1 Streak (1.2351% effective edge), stochastic stress run S363-0 over 216 hands and a 140-unit treasury quantifies a -46u drawdown (23.25% ruin) for Labouchere Split-Line against -24u (12.56% ruin) for Oscar's Grind 1-Unit Cycle inside a 90-unit cap. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under Even-Money Player Side (1.235% edge) (1.2351% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
