STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · MARTINGALE VS PAROLI

Martingale Doubling vs. Paroli 3-Step Press — Three-Shoe Adverse 8-Run on Even-Money Player Wagers (216-Hand Stress Test)

Evaluating Martingale vs Paroli in scenario S321-0 (216 hands, 140u stack, 90u table limit) calibrates how 20 tie stalls (9.26%) and a 8-coup run shape stochastic profile, yielding 52.27% vs 10.76% ruin. 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.

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.

Stress test S321-3 measures Martingale Doubling (1-2-4-8-16-32-64) against Paroli 3-Step Press (1-2-4-reset) inside a 140-unit bankroll over 216 hands (Player 1:1 Streak, streak), where a 90-unit table ceiling produces 52.27% vs 10.76% ruin rates and tracks 5.73u in eight-deck vigorish drag.

Evaluating Martingale vs Paroli in scenario S321-4 (216 hands, 140u stack, 90u table limit) dissects how 20 tie stalls (9.26%) and a 8-coup run shape table-capped dispersion, yielding 52.27% vs 10.76% ruin.

  • Trial S321: set a 140u stop before running Martingale vs Paroli over 216 hands.
  • Scenario S321 inspects 5.73u in commission drag and 20 tie pushes (9.26% Tie rate).
  • Board rule S321: derived road red marks stochastic column repetition and blue marks a structural break (footprint), never Banker or Player.
