4-Deck 0-Value Tens & Faces Depletion at 75% Penetration (4% Audit DEP187)

Removing 55 of 64 0-Value Tens & Faces (Rank-0) cards at 75% penetration of a 4-deck (208-card) shoe leaves 9 Rank-0 cards inside a 52-card stub (DEP187), producing 45.8764% Banker wins, 44.5816% Player wins, 9.5420% Ties, and a 0.5402% Banker house edge under 4%.

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.

FINITE-SHOE ENUMERATION · DEP187

How 0-Value Tens & Faces Depletion at 75% Depth Impacts 4D (4% Vig)

At 75% penetration of a 208-card (4D) shoe, state DEP187 isolates 55 dealt Rank-0 cards (9 remaining inside 52 stub cards), yielding 45.8764% Banker wins, 44.5816% Player wins, and 0.9370 per-hand standard deviation under 4%.

Fewer zero-value draws mean (DEP187-Rank-0) third-card pulls change running totals (52c) more frequently instead of leaving (DEP187-Rank-0·52c) totals unchanged. Because 55 of 64 0-Value Tens & Faces cards are absent in DEP187 at 75% 4D penetration (52 cards left), per-card sensitivity (+0.18 bps) interacts directly with three-quarter 75% penetration depth (DEP187) under reduced 4% Banker commission (Rank-0) (0.96:1 payout).

TABLEAU & SCOREBOARD SEPARATION · DEP187

Third-Card Tableau Sensitivity vs Derived-Road Marks (DEP187 · 4D)

Cut-card protocol at 75% depth in DEP187 (4D, 52 stub cards containing 9 Rank-0 cards) ensures the shoe reshuffles long before 4% house hold (0.5402% Banker / 1.2948% Player) is overturned.

  • DEP187 (4D 75%): 52/208 cards with 9/64 Rank-0 (2A).
  • DEP187 (Rank-0 split): 45.8764% Banker, 44.5816% Player, 9.5420% Tie in 52 4D cards (2B).
  • DEP187 (4% Vig EV): -0.5402% Banker, -1.2948% Player, -14.1222% Tie, 0.9370 SD at 75% (2C).
  • DEP187 (4D roads): red/blue marks log Big Road columns, never 9 Rank-0 stub count (2D).
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 55 0-Value Tens & Faces cards leave a 4D shoe by 75% depth (DEP187), 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-0 stub counts (9/64 in 52 cards); Banker carries a -0.5402% expectation under 4%.
