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 · DEP140

How Removing Zero-Value Group (10/J/Q/K) at 341 Cards Affects B4 Draw 2-7 Gate (DEP140)

Under combinatorial state [DEP140] (82% penetration, 75 cards remaining), Zero-Value Group (10/J/Q/K) concentration stands at 18/75 (24.00% vs 30.77%), altering how often the Banker 4 active six-card draw window against 2..7 fires.

[DEP140-B] Across remaining coups in [DEP140], fewer Zero-Value Group (10/J/Q/K) (0-point) cards tilt Player 0..5 draw rate by -40 bps and Banker stand rate by 21 bps, though BANKER_TABLEAU[4][5]=true invariably draws a sixth card.

Why DEP140 Card Depletion Never Changes Tableau Law or Derived Road Meaning

[DEP140-C3] Auditioning [DEP140] at depth, Player opens 1 + 5 -> 6 while Banker opens 4 -> 7 across 6c (B in [DEP140]). Across [DEP140] 8-deck shoes, main-bet house edge stays near 1.06% (Banker) and 1.24% (Player), and logging B onto [DEP140] BBPPBPBBPP updates derived roads by Big Road column symmetry.

Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythWhen Zero-Value Group (10/J/Q/K) is depleted to 18/75 in DEP140, the dealer can choose to stand on a drawing Banker total.
TruthPunto Banco third-card rules are 100% mandatory: BANKER_TABLEAU[4][5] remains true at every shoe depth.
MythDeep shoe penetration at 341/416 cards in DEP140 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.
