Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
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 · DEP232

How Removing Four (4) at 166 Cards Affects B6 Draw 6-7 Gate (DEP232)

When shoe [DEP232] advances to 166 cards (40% depth), Four (4) supply drops from 32/416 (7.69%) to 14/250 (5.60%), nudging the Banker 6 two-value sixth-card trigger against 6 or 7.

[DEP232-B] Since Four (4) contributes 4 points, scarcity in [DEP232] moves Player draw probability by -29 bps and Banker stand probability by 38 bps without ever changing BANKER_TABLEAU[6][9] (stands pat on five cards).
