Verified by calculateAllRoads() on SHOE-1A-04.
Computed via getNextRoadPredictions() at the end of the shoe.
Players call a rapid back-and-forth alternation between Banker and Player ('B-P-B-P-B-P') a 'chop' or 'ping-pong' shoe. In this 70-hand shoe, hands 8 through 25 alternate winners 18 times in a row, creating 18 consecutive Big Road columns of depth 1.
Because every new hand during the 18-hand chop starts a brand-new Big Road column at Row 1, every single mark during the run is governed by Rule 1 (New Column): compare the depth of the column that just finished (`colIdx - 1`, depth 1) with the depth of the column `lookback + 1` positions back (also depth 1).
| Logical Column | Winning Side | Column Depth | Attached Ties | 6-Row Grid Placement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Col 1 (SHOE-1A-04) | Banker (B) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 2 (SHOE-1A-04) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 3 (SHOE-1A-04) | Banker (B) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 4 (SHOE-1A-04) | Player (P) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 5 (SHOE-1A-04) | Banker (B) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 6 (SHOE-1A-04) | Player (P) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 7 (SHOE-1A-04) | Banker (B) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 8 (SHOE-1A-04) | Player (P) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
Since 1 bead equals 1 bead across lookback 1, lookback 2, and lookback 3, all three derived roads (Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig) print an unbroken string of Red (=) marks throughout the chop—even though not a single Banker or Player streak occurred on the Big Road.
If a hypothetical Hand #71 were dealt at the end of SHOE-1A-04, getNextRoadPredictions() shows that a Banker win would produce Big Eye Boy BLUE, Small Road BLUE, and Cockroach Pig RED, whereas a Player win would produce Big Eye Boy RED, Small Road RED, and Cockroach Pig BLUE. Remember that each hand in an 8-deck shoe is independent of prior outcomes.
