Big Eye Boy (Lookback 1) Verified Mark #3

This bead is at Row 4. Column 1 stopped at Row 3, one row above → blue (≠).

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythElectronic scoreboards in South Florida Asian pits reset their derived roads whenever a Dragon 7 hits.
TruthA Dragon 7 (winning three-card Banker 7) is recorded on the Big Road simply as a regular Banker ('B') bead; the derived roads evaluate its column depth normally and only reset on a new shoe shuffle.
