Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=). In this engine-verified Big Eye Boy (大眼仔 (Daai Ngaan Jai)) walkthrough, we inspect Mark #2 at Big Road Column 3, Row 1 (looking 1 column back to Column 1) and trace every step through describeMarkSteps().
RW-BEB-R1-RED (Big Eye Boy, Lookback 1): Mark #2 at Big Road Column 3, Row 1 → Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).
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.
Compares Big Road columns separated by 1 column.
Triggers Rule 1 (Starting a New Column).
Rendered with crisp SIGNAL white (#F4F5F6) lookback boxes.
Steps: 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 (=).
Next-hand probe on this board: If B → -, If P → -.
Whenever a hand changes winner and starts a brand-new column at Row 1 of the Big Road (from Column 3 onward), Big Eye Boy applies Rule 1: compare the total bead count of the column that just finished (`col - 1`) with the column 1 position further left (`col - 2`).
In this sequence (`BBPPB...`), Column 1 finishes with 2 Banker beads (`BB`), and Column 2 finishes with 2 Player beads (`PP`). On Hand 5, Banker wins and starts Column 3 at Row 1. Rule 1 compares Column 2 (2 beads) with Column 1 (2 beads): because both columns have the exact same depth, Big Eye Boy records a Red (=) hollow circle.
Our locked road engine summarizes this exact mark in two steps: 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 (=).
| Derived Mark | Big Road Position | Rule Applied | Verdict | describeMark() Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark #1 | Col 2, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=). |
| Mark #2 (Featured) | Col 3, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Red (=) | Column 2 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=). |
| Mark #3 | Col 4, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Blue (≠) | Column 3 has 1 bead. Column 2 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠). |
| Mark #4 | Col 4, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Blue (≠) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 3 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠). |
| Mark #5 | Col 4, Row 3 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 3. Column 3 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=). |
| Mark #6 | Col 5, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Blue (≠) | Column 4 has 3 beads. Column 3 has 1 bead. Different depth → blue (≠). |
Notice that the winner of Hand 5 happens to be Banker, and the mark is Red—but if the opening had been `PPBBP` (Player wins Hand 5 after two 2-bead columns), the Big Eye Boy mark would STILL be Red (=) because 2 beads equals 2 beads!
Across the full 34-hand board for RW-BEB-R1-RED, Big Eye Boy records 31 total marks (15 Red = and 16 Blue ≠). Remember that each hand in an 8-deck shoe is an independent event and derived roads describe past column symmetry rather than predicting the next winner.
