Super 6 (Nepal) Barred-6 Proof: Why Half-Pay on Banker 6 Costs 1.458%

Banker wins on totals 1–5 and 7–9 pay 1:1 with zero commission, but any winning Banker total of 6 (2-card or 3-card) pays only 0.50 to 1. On a winning Banker 6, dealers pay 50 cents on the dollar to main Banker wagers while settling the optional 12:1 Super 6 side bet. Winning Banker 6 hands occur on 5.3860% of all 8-deck deals (1.894% two-card 6 and 3.492% three-card 6); forfeiting half the payout costs 2.6930% per hand. Because 2.6930% forfeited on Banker 6 exceeds the 2.2930% cost of a 5% commission by 0.400%, Banker house edge jumps to 1.4580%—worse than Player (1.2351%).

Big Eye Boy Mark #2

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

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

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 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

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

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

This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 3 columns back, at Column 1.
  2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → red (=).

SUP6BAR COMBINATORIAL AUDIT

Super 6 (Nepal) Barred-6 Proof: Why Half-Pay on Banker 6 Costs 1.458% — Exact 8-Deck Accounting

[SUP6BAR-MECHANISM] Banker wins on totals 1–5 and 7–9 pay 1:1 with zero commission, but any winning Banker total of 6 (2-card or 3-card) pays only 0.50 to 1. On a winning Banker 6, dealers pay 50 cents on the dollar to main Banker wagers while settling the optional 12:1 Super 6 side bet. Across Macau mass-market floors, London Mayfair casinos, and Evolution No Commission tables, pit supervisors enforce this exact settlement table on every 416-card shoe.

[SUP6BAR-PROOF] Winning Banker 6 hands occur on 5.3860% of all 8-deck deals (1.894% two-card 6 and 3.492% three-card 6); forfeiting half the payout costs 2.6930% per hand. Because 2.6930% forfeited on Banker 6 exceeds the 2.2930% cost of a 5% commission by 0.400%, Banker house edge jumps to 1.4580%—worse than Player (1.2351%). Because each six-card deal is governed by the fixed third-card tableau, scoreboard trends on Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig cannot shift the 1.4580% Banker expectation.
