Within multi-coup testbed S448-0, a 130-unit bankroll facing 210 coups of Player High-Tie (high-tie) and a 85-unit maximum wager audits 26.40% ruin (5.83u expected loss) on Reverse Labouchere Line versus 13.66% ruin (4.37u expected loss) on Macau 3-Step VIP Bullet. 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.
