6-Deck Five-Pip Card Depletion at 25% Penetration (5% Audit DEP317)

Removing 7 of 24 Five-Pip Card (Rank-5) cards at 25% penetration of a 6-deck (312-card) shoe leaves 17 Rank-5 cards inside a 234-card stub (DEP317), producing 45.8639% Banker wins, 44.5913% Player wins, 9.5449% Ties, and a 1.0206% 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.
  2. Column 4 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 5 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

How Five-Pip Card Depletion at 25% Depth Impacts 6D (5% Vig)

Across 89,520,558,110,592,000 initial 6D permutations, depletion node DEP317 narrows to a 234-card stub (25% depth) holding 17 of 24 Rank-5 cards, where Banker resolves at 45.8639% (-1.0206% EV) and Player at 44.5913% (-1.2726% EV).

When 7 Rank-5 cards exit a 6D shoe by 25% penetration (DEP317, 17 left in 234 cards), fewer 5s in the (dep317-rank-5) stub reduce banker third-card improvements (234c) from 3 to 8 and (dep317-rank-5·234c) from 4 to 9, combining a -0.84 bps rank vector with 5% settlement (-1.0206% Banker EV).

TABLEAU & SCOREBOARD SEPARATION · DEP317

Third-Card Tableau Sensitivity vs Derived-Road Marks (DEP317 · 6D)

Scoreboard literacy in DEP317 separates two independent concepts: 6D card-removal math (17 Rank-5 left in 234 cards at 25% depth, 0.9335 volatility) and derived-road comparison rules (Rule 1 column-depth checks and Rule 2 two-cell lookbacks).

  • DEP317 (6D 25%): 234/312 cards with 17/24 Rank-5 (1A).
  • DEP317 (Rank-5 split): 45.8639% Banker, 44.5913% Player, 9.5449% Tie in 234 6D cards (1B).
  • DEP317 (5% Vig EV): -1.0206% Banker, -1.2726% Player, -14.0961% Tie, 0.9335 SD at 25% (1C).
  • DEP317 (6D roads): red/blue marks log Big Road columns, never 17 Rank-5 stub count (1D).
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 7 Five-Pip Card cards leave a 6D shoe by 25% depth (DEP317), 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-5 stub counts (17/24 in 234 cards); Banker carries a -1.0206% expectation under 5%.
