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

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

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

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 #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 Vegas Strip (Bellagio Villa Privé) or Vancouver BC (River Rock Casino Resort), flat per-hand collection fees in California-style cardrooms have the same percentage cost across every bet size.
TruthUnder both Nevada Gaming Control Board and British Columbia Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, a fixed dollar collection fee represents a heavy percentage drag on small wagers while shrinking proportionally as wager size increases, unlike a flat percentage vig.
MythOn TCS John Huxley Omni Reader Boards in Vegas Strip and Angel Eye & TCS John Huxley Ora Displays in Vancouver BC, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross LVS, YVR, and SAN, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
