STAGE 2 STRESS TEST · REV LABOUCHERE VS MACAU 3-STEP

Reverse Labouchere Line vs. Macau 3-Step VIP Bullet — 11-Hand Banker Run under No-Commission Banker 6 Half-Pay (74-Hand Stress Test)

Within sequential testbed S441-0, a 90-unit bankroll facing 74 coups of No-Comm Streak (streak) and a 65-unit maximum wager tracks 11.75% ruin (2.43u expected loss) on Reverse Labouchere Line versus 7.41% ruin (1.82u expected loss) on Macau 3-Step VIP Bullet. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under No-Commission Banker 6 (0.50:1 on 6) (1.4579% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
