2-Deck Eight-Pip Card Depletion at 10% Penetration (5% Audit DEP163)

Removing 1 of 8 Eight-Pip Card (Rank-8) cards at 10% penetration of a 2-deck (104-card) shoe leaves 7 Rank-8 cards inside a 94-card stub (DEP163), producing 45.8996% Banker wins, 44.5678% Player wins, 9.5326% Ties, and a 0.9632% 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

Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 2, 2 columns further back.

How Eight-Pip Card Depletion at 10% Depth Impacts 2D (5% Vig)

Across 112,869,612,134,400 initial 2D permutations, depletion node DEP163 narrows to a 94-card stub (10% depth) holding 7 of 8 Rank-8 cards, where Banker resolves at 45.8996% (-0.9632% EV) and Player at 44.5678% (-1.3318% EV).

In six-card resolution tree DEP163 (2D at 10% depth, 94 cards left), depleting 8-pip cards also (dep163-rank-8) lowers two-card natural 8 lockouts (94c) when paired with zero-point tens (dep163-rank-8·94c) and court cards; removing 1 of 8 Rank-8 cards (-0.50 bps weight) leaves Banker at -0.9632% EV under 5%.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 1 Eight-Pip Card cards leave a 2D shoe by 10% depth (DEP163), 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-8 stub counts (7/8 in 94 cards); Banker carries a -0.9632% expectation under 5%.
