When a 150-unit stack enters a 3-shoe (216-hand) session using Martingale Doubling, drawdown-weighted model M117-0 measures 1035u in cumulative action and a 30.70% barrier-absorption probability before the 60-unit table maximum truncates the combinatorial progression-curve. Every 8-deck hand remains statistically independent (45.86% Banker, 44.62% Player, 9.52% Tie), meaning progression sizing reshapes session variance without altering the house edge.
Reference 8-deck shoe for Matrix Cell M117 (Martingale Doubling, 150u bankroll, 216 hands). Big Road and Bead Plate show Banker (red) and Player (blue); derived roads record structural symmetry.
This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 1.
Matrix cell M117 tests Martingale Doubling with a $50 base unit and -75u/+38u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -75u drawdown barrier before completing 216 hands or reaching +38u.
Share of 216-hand trajectories reaching the +38u session ceiling, with 32.02% ending between barriers.
A 60-unit house limit and 150-unit stack cap Martingale escalation after 6 adverse coups.
Derived from 1035u total action (4.79x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
Testing Martingale (1-2-4-8-16-32-64) at 150 units across 216 coups in cell M117-1 maps a 30.70% chance of striking the -75-unit stop-loss, while the 60-unit pit ceiling and 1.058% Banker edge impose 15.55u ($778) in expected erosion.
When a 150-unit stack enters a 3-shoe (216-hand) session using Martingale Doubling, finite-shoe model M117-2 documents 1035u in cumulative action and a 30.70% barrier-absorption probability before the 60-unit table maximum truncates the capital-bounded drawdown-slope.
| M117 Parameter | Martingale (150u) | 3-Shoe absorption-curve |
|---|---|---|
| Martingale Ladder | 1-2-4-8-16-32-64 (7 steps) | Peak 64u multiplier on M117 |
| 150u Stack Window | 216 hands (3 shoes) | Barriers -75u / +38u |
| 60u Ceiling & Ruin | 30.70% ruin vs 37.28% win | Depth 6 steps (16 cap hits) |

Testing Martingale (1-2-4-8-16-32-64) at 150 units across 216 coups in cell M117-3 benchmarks a 30.70% chance of striking the -75-unit stop-loss, while the 60-unit pit ceiling and 1.058% Banker edge impose 15.55u ($778) in expected erosion.
When a 150-unit stack enters a 3-shoe (216-hand) session using Martingale Doubling, variance-scaled model M117-4 models 1035u in cumulative action and a 30.70% barrier-absorption probability before the 60-unit table maximum truncates the step-indexed capital-runway.
