Verified by calculateAllRoads() on SHOE-1A-05.
Computed via getNextRoadPredictions() at the end of the shoe.
In a standard 8-deck shoe, Ties occur on 9.52% of hands (roughly 7 Ties per 73-hand shoe). This 75-hand shoe captures a 9-Tie cluster—highlighted by three consecutive Ties (`TTT`) after the sixth decided hand—demonstrating how casino scoreboards compress ties without advancing columns.
While the Bead Plate gives every Tie its own green 'T' circle in chronological order, the Big Road never allocates a new cell to a Tie. Instead, `getBigRoadColumns()` increments `tiesAfter` on the most recent Banker or Player bead, rendered as a mint-green diagonal slash with a numeric count when two or more Ties land back-to-back.
| Logical Column | Winning Side | Column Depth | Attached Ties | 6-Row Grid Placement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Col 1 (SHOE-1A-05) | Banker (B) | 3 beads | 1 tie slash | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 2 (SHOE-1A-05) | Player (P) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 3 (SHOE-1A-05) | Banker (B) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 4 (SHOE-1A-05) | Player (P) | 3 beads | 3 tie slashes | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 5 (SHOE-1A-05) | Banker (B) | 4 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 4 |
| Col 6 (SHOE-1A-05) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 7 (SHOE-1A-05) | Banker (B) | 1 bead | 1 tie slash | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 8 (SHOE-1A-05) | Player (P) | 3 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 3 |
Because derived roads are pure functions of `BigRoadColumn` depths (`count` of B or P beads per column), a Tie never generates a Big Eye Boy, Small Road, or Cockroach Pig mark, and never alters the Next-Hand If Banker / If Player predictions.
If a hypothetical Hand #76 were dealt at the end of SHOE-1A-05, getNextRoadPredictions() shows that a Banker win would produce Big Eye Boy RED, Small Road RED, and Cockroach Pig RED, whereas a Player win would produce Big Eye Boy BLUE, Small Road BLUE, and Cockroach Pig BLUE. Remember that each hand in an 8-deck shoe is independent of prior outcomes.
