PROGRESSION SURVIVAL AUDIT · FBKS160

Flat Betting Banker (1u Constant) — 160-Hand Two-Shoe Session (50u Bankroll) Survival & Ruin Proof

[FBKS160] Wagers a constant 1 unit on Banker every hand regardless of prior wins or losses. Across 160-Hand Two-Shoe Session (50u Bankroll) (Back-to-back two-shoe floor session testing progression endurance under a 50-unit stop-loss), staking Flat Banker on Banker (1.0579% house edge) generates 160.0 units of cumulative action, an expected mathematical cost of −1.69 units, ±11.73 units of standard deviation, and a 91.9% session survival rate (8.1% bankroll ruin risk).

Big Eye Boy Mark #2

Column 3 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 4 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 3 with Column 2, 1 column further back.
  2. Column 3 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

Small Road Mark #2

Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 2, 2 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 6 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 5 with Column 2, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

FBKS160 STOCHASTIC HORIZON

Flat Banker (FBKS160) Over 160 Hands With a 50-Unit Bankroll

[FBKS160-MECHANICS] Staking protocol FBKS160 applies Flat Betting Banker (1u Constant) (1-1-1-1-1) on Banker across 160 hands with a 50-unit stop-loss. Wagers a constant 1 unit on Banker every hand regardless of prior wins or losses. Back-to-back two-shoe floor session testing progression endurance under a 50-unit stop-loss.

[FBKS160-EXPECTATION] By linearity of expectation, FBKS160 cannot alter the 8-deck 1.0579% Banker house edge: multiplying 160.0u cumulative action by −1.0579% locks in −1.69u expected drift with ±11.73u standard deviation. Minimizes session variance and avoids table-limit traps while paying 1.0579% expected house hold per unit. Remember that baccarat is an 18+ / 21+ game of chance; review /legal/responsible-gambling before setting session limits.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythRunning Flat Banker over 160 hands with 50 units changes the mathematical expectation of the shoe.
TruthEvery hand in FBKS160 faces the same 1.0579% Banker house edge; scaling bet sizes to 160.0u total action scales expected cost to −1.69u while reshaping variance (±11.73u SD).
