Big Eye Boy Mark #3

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 3 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 1 column 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.

Small Road Mark #3

This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 2 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.

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

Column 4 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Different depth → blue (≠).

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

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

COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP345

How Removing Five (5) at 341 Cards Affects P0-5 vs B-Stand (DEP345)

Within shoe segment [DEP345] at 341 cards out, only 4 of 32 initial Five (5) cards remain inside 75 unseen cards (5.33% vs 7.69%), modifying the Player 0..5 fifth-card draw rate versus Banker 6..7 stand rate.

[DEP345-B] Removing 5-point Five (5) cards adjusts Player's 0..5 draw incidence by -29 bps and Banker's standing share by 12 bps; once B=2 faces fifth-card 0, the rulebook draws a sixth card.
