PROGRESSION SURVIVAL AUDIT · RLBS250

Reverse Labouchere (1-2-3-4 Press) — 250-Hand Weekend Horizon (100u Bankroll) Survival & Ruin Proof

[RLBS250] Appends won bet amounts to the outer right of the 1-2-3-4 line and crosses off the outer pair whenever a hand loses. Across 250-Hand Weekend Horizon (100u Bankroll) (Three-plus shoe weekend trip horizon backed by a full 100-unit session bankroll), staking Reverse Labouchere on Player (1.2351% house edge) generates 512.5 units of cumulative action, an expected mathematical cost of −6.33 units, ±30.83 units of standard deviation, and a 85.9% session survival rate (14.1% bankroll ruin risk).

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

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Small Road Mark #2

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

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

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 5 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

RLBS250 STOCHASTIC HORIZON

Reverse Labouchere (RLBS250) Over 250 Hands With a 100-Unit Bankroll

[RLBS250-MECHANICS] Staking protocol RLBS250 applies Reverse Labouchere (1-2-3-4 Press) (1+4=5, append win) on Player across 250 hands with a 100-unit stop-loss. Appends won bet amounts to the outer right of the 1-2-3-4 line and crosses off the outer pair whenever a hand loses. Three-plus shoe weekend trip horizon backed by a full 100-unit session bankroll.

[RLBS250-EXPECTATION] By linearity of expectation, RLBS250 cannot alter the 8-deck 1.2351% Player house edge: multiplying 512.5u cumulative action by −1.2351% locks in −6.33u expected drift with ±30.83u standard deviation. Caps total cycle loss to the initial 10-unit line sum (1+2+3+4) while aiming for a prolonged hot-shoe expansion before stop-out. Remember that baccarat is an 18+ / 21+ game of chance; review /legal/responsible-gambling before setting session limits.

  • RLBS250 step sequence: 1+4=5, append win (2.05u mean bet size across 250 hands).
  • RLBS250 bankroll boundary: 100u starting stack faces 14.1% ruin risk and 85.9% survival probability.
  • RLBS250 road independence: Big Eye Boy and Small Road patterns on BBPBBPBB never change the −6.33u expected house hold.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythRunning Reverse Labouchere over 250 hands with 100 units changes the mathematical expectation of the shoe.
TruthEvery hand in RLBS250 faces the same 1.2351% Player house edge; scaling bet sizes to 512.5u total action scales expected cost to −6.33u while reshaping variance (±30.83u SD).
