2-Deck Three-Pip (Trey) Depletion at 70% Penetration (5% Audit DEP123)

Removing 6 of 8 Three-Pip (Trey) (Rank-3) cards at 70% penetration of a 2-deck (104-card) shoe leaves 2 Rank-3 cards inside a 31-card stub (DEP123), producing 45.9023% Banker wins, 44.5651% Player wins, 9.5327% Ties, and a 0.9579% Banker house edge under 5%.

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

Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  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 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

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

Small Road Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

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

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

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.

How Three-Pip (Trey) Depletion at 70% Depth Impacts 2D (5% Vig)

Removing 6 of 8 Rank-3 cards by the 70% mark of a 2-deck shoe (DEP123, 31 cards left) leaves 2 Three-Pip (Trey) cards and adjusts conditional probabilities to 45.9023% Banker, 44.5651% Player, and 9.5327% Tie under 5%.

For DEP123 (2-deck shoe, 70% dealt), banker total 4 draws (dep123) on player third-card 3, and (2d-70%) banker total 5 stands on (dep123·2d-70%) player third-card 3, creating asymmetric sensitivity. Holding 2 of 8 Rank-3 cards in a 31-card stub with +0.65 bps rank slope yields 45.9023% Banker, 44.5651% Player, and 9.5327% Tie.

  • DEP123 (5% Vig EV): -0.9579% Banker, -1.3372% Player, -14.2059% Tie, 0.9374 SD at 70% (4C).
  • DEP123 (2D roads): red/blue marks log Big Road columns, never 2 Rank-3 stub count (4D).
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 6 Three-Pip (Trey) cards leave a 2D shoe by 70% depth (DEP123), Big Eye Boy red or blue marks show whether Banker or Player will win next.
TruthDerived-road red and blue marks only compare Big Road column lengths and never track Rank-3 stub counts (2/8 in 31 cards); Banker carries a -0.9579% expectation under 5%.
