2-Deck Five-Pip Card Depletion at 50% Penetration (Super 6 Audit DEP139)

Removing 5 of 8 Five-Pip Card (Rank-5) cards at 50% penetration of a 2-deck (104-card) shoe leaves 3 Rank-5 cards inside a 52-card stub (DEP139), producing 45.8974% Banker wins, 44.5700% Player wins, 9.5325% Ties, and a 1.3656% Banker house edge under Super 6.

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 Five-Pip Card Depletion at 50% Depth Impacts 2D (Super 6)

Shoe-stub analysis DEP139 inspects 52 remaining cards at 50% penetration of a 104-card (2D) pack after 5 Five-Pip Card cards have cleared, leaving 3 Rank-5 cards and a 1.3656% Super 6 Banker edge.

Because fewer 5s in the (dep139-rank-5) stub reduce banker third-card improvements (52c) from 3 to 8 and (dep139-rank-5·52c) from 4 to 9, state DEP139 (50% 2D depth, 5 Rank-5 removed, 3 in 52 cards) registers a -0.84 bps rank derivative and 1.3656% Banker house edge (Super 6).

Third-Card Tableau Sensitivity vs Derived-Road Marks (DEP139 · 2D)

Even at 50% penetration in DEP139 where 5 Rank-5 cards have exited a 2D shoe (3 left in 52 cards), derived-road red and blue entries measure structural regularity on the Big Road—not whether Banker (-1.3656% EV, Super 6) or Player (-1.3274% EV) is favored next.

  • DEP139 (2D 50%): 52/104 cards with 3/8 Rank-5 (7A).
  • DEP139 (Rank-5 split): 45.8974% Banker, 44.5700% Player, 9.5325% Tie in 52 2D cards (7B).
  • DEP139 (Super 6 EV): -1.3656% Banker, -1.3274% Player, -14.2071% Tie, 0.9360 SD at 50% (7C).
  • DEP139 (2D roads): red/blue marks log Big Road columns, never 3 Rank-5 stub count (7D).
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 5 Five-Pip Card cards leave a 2D shoe by 50% depth (DEP139), 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-5 stub counts (3/8 in 52 cards); Banker carries a -1.3656% expectation under Super 6.
