Step-by-Step Mark Proofs (Rule 1 & Rule 2)
Big Eye Boy Mark #3

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

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

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

Small Road Mark #3

This bead is at Row 3. Column 2 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 4 goes down to Row 3, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 2.
  2. Column 2 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).

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 (≠).

COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP055

How Removing Nine (9) at 291 Cards Affects B3 vs P3=8 Shade (DEP055)

Penetration profile [DEP055] fixes the shoe at 291 dealt and 125 remaining with 6 Nine (9) cards (4.80% density vs 7.69%), testing sensitivity of the Banker 3 standing exception on Player third-card 8.

[DEP055-B] Depleting Nine (9) (pip value 9) induces a 13-bps shift in Player 0..5 draws and a -38-bps shift in Banker stands; inside coordinate B3-P3(8), the dealer still stands pat on five cards.

Why DEP055 Card Depletion Never Changes Tableau Law or Derived Road Meaning

[DEP055-C6] Auditioning [DEP055] at depth, Player opens 0 + 8 -> 8 while Banker opens 3 -> 3 across 5c (P in [DEP055]). Across [DEP055] 8-deck shoes, main-bet house edge stays near 1.06% (Banker) and 1.24% (Player), and logging P onto [DEP055] PPBBPBBBPP updates derived roads by Big Road column symmetry.
