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.

How Two-Pip (Deuce) Depletion at 10% Depth Impacts 4D (5% Vig)

When a 4D shoe reaches 10% cut-card depth (187 of 208 cards undealt, state DEP199) with 2 Two-Pip (Deuce) cards removed and 14 remaining, Player wins 44.5848% (1.2887% edge) while Banker wins 45.8734% (1.0050% edge under 5%).

Mechanical draw trees in DEP199 reflect how depleting 2s shifts the (dep199-rank-2) probability of banker converting a (187c) two-card 4 or 5 into (dep199-rank-2·187c) a winning three-card 6 or 7. At 10% 4D depth (14 Rank-2 left of 16 in 187 cards, +0.52 bps slope), winning banker tickets pay (dep199-4d) 0.95 units per unit staked (14/16) while 90% of the initial (dep199-4d·14/16) shoe remains undealt.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 2 Two-Pip (Deuce) cards leave a 4D shoe by 10% depth (DEP199), 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-2 stub counts (14/16 in 187 cards); Banker carries a -1.0050% expectation under 5%.
