Depletion matrix entry DEP374 pairs 8D (416 cards) at 60% penetration with 22 removed Ace (1-Point Pip) cards (10 left in 166 cards), fixing per-hand volatility at 0.9358 and Banker house hold at 1.0155% (EZ Bar-7).
Combinatorial weighting in DEP374 (166 cards left from 416 at 60% depth) is governed by two rules: removing aces slightly favors (dep374) banker because banker stands on (8d-60%) 6 against player third-card ace (dep374·8d-60%) while player must draw on 0–5, and banker wins pay 1:1 (dep374-8d) with zero commission except when (10/32) banker wins with a three-card (dep374-8d·10/32) total of 7, which pushes (+0.44 bps per Ace-1 removed).
