STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · MARTINGALE VS PAROLI

Martingale Doubling vs. Paroli 3-Step Press — 16% High-Tie Cluster Shoe under 5% Banker Commission (78-Hand Stress Test)

Matchup S313-0 maps how a 75-unit roll and 50-unit pit maximum govern Martingale versus Paroli during 78 hands of 5% Comm High-Tie: asymmetric dispersion divergence pushes primary ruin to 28.22% against 7.25% for the benchmark while calibrates 1.77u in commission friction. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under 5% Banker Commission (0.95:1) (1.0579% 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

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. 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.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. 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.

During 78 deals of 5% Comm High-Tie (high-tie) in audit S313-3, Martingale Doubling (1-2-4-8-16-32-64) and Paroli 3-Step Press (1-2-4-reset) navigate 13 tie pushes on a 75-unit roll with a 50-unit cap, inspects 28.22% vs 7.25% ruin and 1.77u in commission drag.

Matchup S313-4 documents how a 75-unit roll and 50-unit pit maximum govern Martingale versus Paroli during 78 hands of 5% Comm High-Tie: discrete-time envelope divergence pushes primary ruin to 28.22% against 7.25% for the benchmark while tracks 1.77u in commission friction.

  • Trial S313: set a 75u stop before running Martingale vs Paroli over 78 hands.
  • Scenario S313 computes 1.77u in commission drag and 13 tie pushes (16.67% Tie rate).
  • Board rule S313: derived road red marks drawdown-weighted column repetition and blue marks a structural break (dispersion), never Banker or Player.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythSwitching from Paroli to Martingale during 16% High-Tie Cluster Shoe under 5% Banker Commission neutralizes the 1.0579% house edge.
TruthOver 78 hands on a 75-unit stack, Martingale carries 3.69u expected loss (28.22% ruin) vs 1.15u (7.25% ruin) for Paroli.
MythDuring a 4-hand high-tie sequence, red marks on Big Eye Boy or Small Road indicate Banker is favored next.
TruthDerived road colors never represent Banker or Player: red denotes repeatingBig Road structure and blue denotes breaking structure.
