Verified by calculateAllRoads() on SHOE-1A-19.
Computed via getNextRoadPredictions() at the end of the shoe.
At the opposite end of the hand-count distribution from our 82-hand marathon sits this 65-hand shoe. When a high-value initial burn card (such as a 9, burning 10 cards total) combines with an elevated rate of 5-card and 6-card third-card hands (averaging 5.95 cards per hand across bursts), the shoe reaches the 16-card cut card on Hand 65.
Even though 65 hands consume the same ~390 playable cards as an 80-hand natural-heavy shoe, the Big Road records 15 fewer beads. The scoreboard cares only about finished hand outcomes (`B`, `P`, `T`), never whether a hand consumed 4, 5, or 6 cards.

Across these 65 hands (36 Banker, 29 Player across 25 Big Road columns), all three derived roads establish clear multi-column runs well before the cut card appears.
If a hypothetical Hand #66 were dealt at the end of SHOE-1A-19, 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.
