Case M172-0 tabulates the session-bounded Paroli 3-Step Press (1-2-4-reset) across a 300-unit bankroll and a 216-hand (3-shoe) window, where a 60-unit table ceiling and 150-unit stop-loss produce a 6.74% ruin rate while evaluates an average stake turnover of 1.61x and 3.98u ($199) in theoretical house-edge toll. 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 M172 (Paroli 3-Step Press, 300u bankroll, 216 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 3 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Matrix cell M172 tests Paroli 3-Step Press with a $50 base unit and -150u/+75u absorbing boundaries.
Probability of hitting the -150u drawdown barrier before completing 216 hands or reaching +75u.
Share of 216-hand trajectories reaching the +75u session ceiling, with 49.07% ending between barriers.
A 60-unit house limit and 300-unit stack cap Paroli escalation after 5 adverse coups.
Derived from 348u total action (1.61x average wager) multiplied by the 1.0579% 8-deck Banker edge.
In variance-scaled benchmark M172-1, running Paroli across 216 deals with 300 units and a 60-unit maximum wager quantifies 348u of total handle, 3.98u in commission-weighted drift, and a 6.74% probability of exhausting the 150-unit drawdown buffer.
Case M172-2 charts the step-indexed Paroli 3-Step Press (1-2-4-reset) across a 300-unit bankroll and a 216-hand (3-shoe) window, where a 60-unit table ceiling and 150-unit stop-loss produce a 6.74% ruin rate while inspects an average stake decay-rate of 1.61x and 3.98u ($199) in theoretical house-edge toll.
| M172 Parameter | Paroli (300u) | 3-Shoe boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Paroli Ladder | 1-2-4-reset (3 steps) | Peak 4u multiplier on M172 |
| 300u Stack Window | 216 hands (3 shoes) | Barriers -150u / +75u |
| 60u Ceiling & Ruin | 6.74% ruin vs 44.19% win | Depth 5 steps (1 cap hits) |
| 348u Handle & Hold | 3.98u ($199) | Multiplier 1.61x (sequential drift) |
In eight-deck benchmark M172-3, running Paroli across 216 deals with 300 units and a 60-unit maximum wager profiles 348u of total handle, 3.98u in commission-weighted drift, and a 6.74% probability of exhausting the 150-unit drawdown buffer.
Case M172-4 calibrates the absorbing-barrier Paroli 3-Step Press (1-2-4-reset) across a 300-unit bankroll and a 216-hand (3-shoe) window, where a 60-unit table ceiling and 150-unit stop-loss produce a 6.74% ruin rate while audits an average stake threshold of 1.61x and 3.98u ($199) in theoretical house-edge toll.
