8-Deck Nine-Pip Card Depletion at 50% Penetration (Super 6 Audit DEP445)

Removing 18 of 32 Nine-Pip Card (Rank-9) cards at 50% penetration of a 8-deck (416-card) shoe leaves 14 Rank-9 cards inside a 208-card stub (DEP445), producing 45.8591% Banker wins, 44.6253% Player wins, 9.5156% Ties, and a 1.4592% Banker house edge under Super 6.

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 Nine-Pip Card Depletion at 50% Depth Impacts 8D (Super 6)

Removing 18 of 32 Rank-9 cards by the 50% mark of a 8-deck shoe (DEP445, 208 cards left) leaves 14 Nine-Pip Card cards and adjusts conditional probabilities to 45.8591% Banker, 44.6253% Player, and 9.5156% Tie under Super 6.

When 9s are depleted (DEP445-Rank-9) late in the shoe, more (208c) hands bypass four-card natural resolution (DEP445-Rank-9·208c) and enter the five- and six-card tableau. Because 18 of 32 Nine-Pip Card cards are absent in DEP445 at 50% 8D penetration (208 cards left), per-card sensitivity (-0.23 bps) interacts directly with mid-shoe 50% penetration depth (DEP445) under Super 6 no-commission rules (Rank-9) (winning Banker 6 pays 0.50:1) (DEP445·Rank-9).

TABLEAU & SCOREBOARD SEPARATION · DEP445

Third-Card Tableau Sensitivity vs Derived-Road Marks (DEP445 · 8D)

Cut-card protocol at 50% depth in DEP445 (8D, 208 stub cards containing 14 Rank-9 cards) ensures the shoe reshuffles long before Super 6 house hold (1.4592% Banker / 1.2338% Player) is overturned.

  • DEP445 (8D 50%): 208/416 cards with 14/32 Rank-9 (4A).
  • DEP445 (Rank-9 split): 45.8591% Banker, 44.6253% Player, 9.5156% Tie in 208 8D cards (4B).
  • DEP445 (Super 6 EV): -1.4592% Banker, -1.2338% Player, -14.3598% Tie, 0.9372 SD at 50% (4C).
  • DEP445 (8D roads): red/blue marks log Big Road columns, never 14 Rank-9 stub count (4D).
Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen 18 Nine-Pip Card cards leave a 8D shoe by 50% depth (DEP445), 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 (14/32 in 208 cards); Banker carries a -1.4592% expectation under Super 6.
