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

Column 5 has 1 bead. Column 3 has 1 bead. Same depth → red (=).

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

Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 5, the one that just finished, with Column 3.

Cockroach Pig Mark #3

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

  1. Column 6 goes down to Row 2, so use Rule 2: look 3 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.

COMBINATORIAL DEPLETION · DEP258

How Removing Deuce (2) at 291 Cards Affects B6 Draw 6-7 Gate (DEP258)

In finite-shoe state [DEP258], 291 cards have exited the 416-card shoe, leaving 7 Deuce (2) cards in 125 (5.60% vs 7.69%) to govern the Banker 6 two-value sixth-card trigger against 6 or 7.

[DEP258-B] Even as Deuce (2) (2 pts) depletion shifts Player drawing by -29 bps and Banker standing by 9 bps in [DEP258], Punto Banco law for B=6 vs P3=7 draws a sixth card.

Why DEP258 Card Depletion Never Changes Tableau Law or Derived Road Meaning

[DEP258-C10] Auditioning [DEP258] at depth, Player opens 5 + 7 -> 2 while Banker opens 6 -> 1 across 6c (P in [DEP258]). Across [DEP258] 8-deck shoes, main-bet house edge stays near 1.06% (Banker) and 1.24% (Player), and logging P onto [DEP258] BBPPBPBPPP updates derived roads by Big Road column symmetry.

MythDeep shoe penetration at 291/416 cards in DEP258 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.
