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 (=).

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Ohio Casinos (Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati) or Monte Carlo (Casino de Monte-Carlo Salons Privés), flat per-hand collection fees in California-style cardrooms have the same percentage cost across every bet size.
TruthUnder both Ohio Casino Control Commission and Commission des Jeux de Monaco, 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 Shufflemaster i-Score Digital Reader Boards in Ohio Casinos and TCS John Huxley Custom SBM Display Terminals in Monte Carlo, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross CMH, MCM, and STL, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
