STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · PAROLI VS 2-1-2 MANHATTAN

Paroli 3-Step Press vs. 2-1-2 Manhattan Progression — Three-Shoe Adverse 8-Run on Even-Money Player Wagers (216-Hand Stress Test)

Head-to-head matrix S405-0 subjects Paroli (1-2-4-reset) and 2-1-2 Manhattan (2-1-2-3-4-5) to 216 hands of Player 1:1 Streak (streak) with 140 units and a 90-unit roof, inspects 3.86u versus 4.00u in mathematical house hold and 14.96% versus 11.51% 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.
