PROGRESSION SURVIVAL AUDIT · RLBS80

Reverse Labouchere (1-2-3-4 Press) — 80-Hand Single Shoe (40u Bankroll) Survival & Ruin Proof

[RLBS80] 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 80-Hand Single Shoe (40u Bankroll) (Complete 8-deck live shoe from burn card to cut card backed by a 40-unit session stack), staking Reverse Labouchere on Player (1.2351% house edge) generates 164.0 units of cumulative action, an expected mathematical cost of −2.03 units, ±17.44 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 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.

RLBS80 STOCHASTIC HORIZON

Reverse Labouchere (RLBS80) Over 80 Hands With a 40-Unit Bankroll

[RLBS80-MECHANICS] Staking protocol RLBS80 applies Reverse Labouchere (1-2-3-4 Press) (1+4=5, append win) on Player across 80 hands with a 40-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. Complete 8-deck live shoe from burn card to cut card backed by a 40-unit session stack.

[RLBS80-EXPECTATION] By linearity of expectation, RLBS80 cannot alter the 8-deck 1.2351% Player house edge: multiplying 164.0u cumulative action by −1.2351% locks in −2.03u expected drift with ±17.44u 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.

  • RLBS80 step sequence: 1+4=5, append win (2.05u mean bet size across 80 hands).
  • RLBS80 bankroll boundary: 40u starting stack faces 14.1% ruin risk and 85.9% survival probability.
  • RLBS80 road independence: Big Eye Boy and Small Road patterns on BBBBPPPP never change the −2.03u expected house hold.
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythRunning Reverse Labouchere over 80 hands with 40 units changes the mathematical expectation of the shoe.
TruthEvery hand in RLBS80 faces the same 1.2351% Player house edge; scaling bet sizes to 164.0u total action scales expected cost to −2.03u while reshaping variance (±17.44u SD).
