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.

How Nine-Pip Card Depletion at 40% Depth Impacts 4D (4% Vig)

Exact conditional enumeration DEP264 for a 4D shoe at 40% depth (125/208 cards undealt) with 9 remaining Rank-9 cards confirms a 0.5476% Banker edge (4% Vig), 1.2873% Player edge, and 14.1240% Tie edge.

Rank 9 paired with (DEP264) any ten or face card (4D-40%) creates an unbeatable two-card Natural (DEP264·4D-40%) 9 that halts all third-card drawing on both sides. In state DEP264 (4D, 40% depth), each removed Rank-9 card applies a -0.23 bps baseline directional pressure before scaling to the 125-card remainder (9 Rank-9 left), while Winning Banker wagers collect (DEP264-4D) 0.96 units per unit staked (9/16) with 60% of the shoe (DEP264-4D·9/16) still inside the acrylic carrier.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 7 Nine-Pip Card cards leave a 4D shoe by 40% depth (DEP264), 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-9 stub counts (9/16 in 125 cards); Banker carries a -0.5476% expectation under 4%.
