PROGRESSION SURVIVAL AUDIT · LABS160

Labouchere Split-Line (1-2-3-4) — 160-Hand Two-Shoe Session (50u Bankroll) Survival & Ruin Proof

[LABS160] Stakes the sum of the first and last numbers on a 1-2-3-4 line; crosses both off on a win or appends the lost sum to the right end on a loss. 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 Labouchere on Player (1.2351% house edge) generates 456.0 units of cumulative action, an expected mathematical cost of −5.63 units, ±34.29 units of standard deviation, and a 75.7% session survival rate (24.3% bankroll ruin risk).

Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

  1. Column 2 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Small Road Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 4 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 1, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 4 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

LABS160 STOCHASTIC HORIZON

Labouchere (LABS160) Over 160 Hands With a 50-Unit Bankroll

[LABS160-MECHANICS] Staking protocol LABS160 applies Labouchere Split-Line (1-2-3-4) (1+4=5, 2+3=5) on Player across 160 hands with a 50-unit stop-loss. Stakes the sum of the first and last numbers on a 1-2-3-4 line; crosses both off on a win or appends the lost sum to the right end on a loss. Back-to-back two-shoe floor session testing progression endurance under a 50-unit stop-loss.

[LABS160-EXPECTATION] By linearity of expectation, LABS160 cannot alter the 8-deck 1.2351% Player house edge: multiplying 456.0u cumulative action by −1.2351% locks in −5.63u expected drift with ±34.29u standard deviation. Clears the line when wins reach 33.4% of resolved hands, but long choppy runs lengthen the line and escalate outside-sum stakes rapidly. Remember that baccarat is an 18+ / 21+ game of chance; review /legal/responsible-gambling before setting session limits.

  • LABS160 step sequence: 1+4=5, 2+3=5 (2.85u mean bet size across 160 hands).
  • LABS160 bankroll boundary: 50u starting stack faces 24.3% ruin risk and 75.7% survival probability.
  • LABS160 road independence: Big Eye Boy and Small Road patterns on BBBBPPPP never change the −5.63u expected house hold.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythRunning Labouchere over 160 hands with 50 units changes the mathematical expectation of the shoe.
TruthEvery hand in LABS160 faces the same 1.2351% Player house edge; scaling bet sizes to 456.0u total action scales expected cost to −5.63u while reshaping variance (±34.29u SD).
