Finite-shoe specification DEP200 tracks Rank-2 removal at 25% depth in 4-deck play: with 11 of 16 Two-Pip (Deuce) cards left in the 156-card stub, Tie incidence is 9.5418% and Banker expectation settles at -1.0042% (5% Vig).
Combinatorial weighting in DEP200 (156 cards left from 208 at 25% depth) is governed by two rules: on banker total 4, (dep200) banker draws against player third-card (4d-25%) 2 through 7; removing 2s (dep200·4d-25%) trims low-pip player third-card triggers, and one-quarter of the shoe (dep200-4d) has exited the carrier and (11/16) winning banker wagers pay 0.95 (dep200-4d·11/16) to 1 after 5% house tax (+0.52 bps per Rank-2 removed).
