Within commission-adjusted horizon M168-0, a 150-unit treasury backing Paroli 3-Step Press for 720 hands (10 shoes) faces a 100-unit bet cap that benchmarks 43.96% ruin exposure, 33.98% target attainment at +38u, and 22.06% time-limit expiration. 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 M168 (Paroli 3-Step Press, 150u bankroll, 720 hands). Big Road and Bead Plate show Banker (red) and Player (blue); derived roads record structural symmetry.
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.
Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 2.
This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
Matrix cell M168 tests Paroli 3-Step Press with a $100 base unit and -75u/+38u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -75u drawdown barrier before completing 720 hands or reaching +38u.
Share of 720-hand trajectories reaching the +38u session ceiling, with 22.06% ending between barriers.
A 100-unit house limit and 150-unit stack cap Paroli escalation after 5 adverse coups.
Derived from 1152u total action (1.60x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
Horizon matrix M168-1 models how Paroli (1-2-4-reset) behaves inside a 150-unit session budget across 720 coups, showing that a 100-unit pit limit and 75-unit floor generate a 43.96% drawdown-trigger rate alongside 13.16u in expected 8-deck vigorish.
Within combinatorial horizon M168-2, a 150-unit treasury backing Paroli 3-Step Press for 720 hands (10 shoes) faces a 100-unit bet cap that computes 43.96% ruin exposure, 33.98% target attainment at +38u, and 22.06% time-limit expiration.

| Paroli Ladder | 1-2-4-reset (3 steps) | Peak 4u multiplier on M168 |
| 150u Stack Window | 720 hands (10 shoes) | Barriers -75u / +38u |
| 100u Ceiling & Ruin | 43.96% ruin vs 33.98% win | Depth 5 steps (2 cap hits) |
| 1152u Handle & Hold | 13.16u ($1316) | Multiplier 1.60x (multi-coup drift) |
Horizon matrix M168-3 inspects how Paroli (1-2-4-reset) behaves inside a 150-unit session budget across 720 coups, showing that a 100-unit pit limit and 75-unit floor generate a 43.96% drawdown-trigger rate alongside 13.16u in expected 8-deck vigorish.
Within table-capped horizon M168-4, a 150-unit treasury backing Paroli 3-Step Press for 720 hands (10 shoes) faces a 100-unit bet cap that verifies 43.96% ruin exposure, 33.98% target attainment at +38u, and 22.06% time-limit expiration.
