Why does Rank-8 carry a -0.50 bps per-card effect in DEP348? On Banker total 3, (DEP348) Banker draws against every Player (6D-70%) third card except 8; removing (DEP348·6D-70%) 8s eliminates Banker 3's sole standing exception, and at 70% penetration (5 Eight-Pip Card cards left in 94 6D cards), with 70% of cards (dep348-6d) dealt and 30% remaining ahead (5/24) of the cut card, winning (dep348-6d·5/24) banker bets pay 0.95 to 1.
