Evaluating Paroli vs 2-1-2 Manhattan in scenario S395-0 (72 hands, 60u stack, 50u table limit) computes how 7 tie stalls (9.52%) and a 2-coup run shape eight-deck drawdown-slope, yielding 15.91% vs 8.41% ruin. 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.
