Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 2 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 1 column back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Small Road Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Cockroach Pig Mark #2

Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 5 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 4 with Column 1, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 4 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 4, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

How Four-Pip Card Depletion at 85% Depth Impacts 8D (EZ Bar-7)

Shoe-stub analysis DEP405 inspects 62 remaining cards at 85% penetration of a 416-card (8D) pack after 31 Four-Pip Card cards have cleared, leaving 1 Rank-4 cards and a 1.0057% EZ Baccarat Banker edge.

Combinatorial weighting in DEP405 (62 cards left from 416 at 85% depth) is governed by two rules: rank 4 sits at (dep405) the exact pivot where banker (8d-85%) 5 begins drawing (player third (dep405·8d-85%) card 4–7) while banker 3 and 4 also draw, and at 85% cut-card penetration, (dep405-8d) only 15% of the pack (1/32) remains and winning 3-card banker (dep405-8d·1/32) 7 hands push (+1.19 bps per Rank-4 removed).

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 31 Four-Pip Card cards leave a 8D shoe by 85% depth (DEP405), 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-4 stub counts (1/32 in 62 cards); Banker carries a -1.0057% expectation under EZ Baccarat.
