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 2. Column 3 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

  1. Column 5 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 2 columns back, at Column 3.
  2. Column 3 stopped at Row 1, one row above → blue (≠).

Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 3 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

Column 5 has 2 beads. Column 2 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

  1. Column 6 starts, so use Rule 1: compare Column 5 with Column 2, 3 columns further back.
  2. Column 5 has 2 beads. Column 2 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 5, the one that just finished, with Column 2.

COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP300

How Removing Deuce (2) at 166 Cards Affects P0-5 vs B-Stand (DEP300)

In finite-shoe state [DEP300], 166 cards have exited the 416-card shoe, leaving 14 Deuce (2) cards in 250 (5.60% vs 7.69%) to govern the Player 0..5 fifth-card draw rate versus Banker 6..7 stand rate.

[DEP300-B] Even as Deuce (2) (2 pts) depletion shifts Player drawing by -36 bps and Banker standing by 11 bps in [DEP300], Punto Banco law for B=2 vs P3=3 draws a sixth card.

Why DEP300 Card Depletion Never Changes Tableau Law or Derived Road Meaning

[DEP300-C5] Auditioning [DEP300] at depth, Player opens 5 + 3 -> 8 while Banker opens 2 -> 5 across 6c (P in [DEP300]). Across [DEP300] 8-deck shoes, main-bet house edge stays near 1.06% (Banker) and 1.24% (Player), and logging P onto [DEP300] BBPPBPBBPP updates derived roads by Big Road column symmetry.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen Deuce (2) is depleted to 14/250 in DEP300, the dealer can choose to stand on a drawing Banker total.
TruthPunto Banco third-card rules are 100% mandatory: BANKER_TABLEAU[2][3] remains true at every shoe depth.
MythDeep shoe penetration at 166/416 cards in DEP300 makes Red on Big Eye Boy mean Banker.
TruthOn Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig, Red (=) always signals repeating Big Road structure and Blue (≠) signals a break.
