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

This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 2 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 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.

Big Eye Boy · Mark #2

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

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

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 2, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

Small Road · Mark #1

This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 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.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Clark Luzon (Hann Casino Resort Clark) or San Diego CA (Sycuan Casino Resort), burning ten cards instead of one card at the start of an 8-deck shoe changes the mathematical expectation of the hands that follow.
TruthUnder both PAGCOR Clark Licensing Department and California Tribal-State Compact & CGCC, unseen burn cards removed from a randomly shuffled 416-card shoe are mathematically indistinguishable from cards placed behind the plastic cut card.
MythOn Angel Eye Smart Shoes with Korean-English Boards in Clark Luzon and Shufflemaster i-Score Plus Boards in San Diego CA, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross CRK, SAN, and SEA, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
