This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=). In this engine-verified Big Eye Boy (大眼仔 (Daai Ngaan Jai)) walkthrough, we inspect Mark #2 at Big Road Column 2, Row 3 (looking 1 column back to Column 1) and trace every step through describeMarkSteps().
RW-BEB-R2-C3 (Big Eye Boy, Lookback 1): Mark #2 at Big Road Column 2, Row 3 → This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=).
This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → 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.
Compares Big Road columns separated by 1 column.
Triggers Rule 2 (Continuing Down a Column).
Rendered with crisp SIGNAL white (#F4F5F6) lookback boxes.
Steps: 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 1, more than one row above → red (=).
Next-hand probe on this board: If B → -, If P → -.
Rule 2 Case 3 is the litmus test that separates authentic casino road engines from broken two-case summaries. When a Big Road column continues down to Row `R` and the reference column stopped at Row `R - 2` or higher (more than one row above), both comparison positions below the reference column are empty—which means the streak is consistently extending and marks Red (=).
In `BPPPP...`, Column 1 has 1 Banker bead (`B`, stopping at Row 1). Column 2 has 4 Player beads (`PPPP`). At Column 2 Row 2 (2nd `P`), Column 1 stopped at Row 1 (one row above) → Blue (≠). At Column 2 Row 3 (3rd `P`), Column 1 stopped at Row 1 (MORE than one row above Row 3) → Red (=)! At Column 2 Row 4 (4th `P`), Column 1 is still more than one row above → Red (=)!
Our locked road engine summarizes this exact mark in two steps: 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 1, more than one row above → red (=).
| Derived Mark | Big Road Position | Rule Applied | Verdict | describeMark() Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark #1 | Col 2, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Blue (≠) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠). |
| Mark #2 (Featured) | Col 2, Row 3 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=). |
| Mark #3 | Col 2, Row 4 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 4. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=). |
| Mark #4 | Col 3, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Blue (≠) | Column 2 has 4 beads. Column 1 has 1 bead. Different depth → blue (≠). |
| Mark #5 | Col 3, Row 2 | Rule 2 (Continue Down) | Red (=) | This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=). |
| Mark #6 | Col 4, Row 1 | Rule 1 (New Column) | Blue (≠) | Column 3 has 2 beads. Column 2 has 4 beads. Different depth → blue (≠). |
This is why every long dragon tail on the Big Road eventually turns Big Eye Boy solid Red (=): once the streak passes `refDepth + 1`, every subsequent bead in the streak triggers Rule 2 Case 3.
Across the full 34-hand board for RW-BEB-R2-C3, Big Eye Boy records 32 total marks (15 Red = and 17 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.
