What happens on a casino scoreboard when a second dragon tail descends straight into a cell already occupied by the previous column's horizontal dragon tail? This 76-hand shoe provides the textbook demonstration: a 9-hand Banker streak bends right across Row 6, and the very next column is an 8-hand Player streak.
As the 8-hand Player column moves downward in the adjacent display column, it finds Row 6 already occupied by the sixth and seventh Banker beads of the earlier dragon tail. Under `arrangeBigRoadDisplay`, when `nextRow` (Row 6) is occupied, the second streak turns right one row higher—gliding horizontally along Row 5 directly on top of the Banker tail below it.
| Logical Column | Winning Side | Column Depth | Attached Ties | 6-Row Grid Placement |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Col 2 (SHOE-1A-03) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 3 (SHOE-1A-03) | Banker (B) | 3 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 4 (SHOE-1A-03) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 5 (SHOE-1A-03) | Banker (B) | 9 beads | 0 ties | Bends 3 right on Row 6 |
| Col 6 (SHOE-1A-03) | Player (P) | 8 beads | 0 ties | Bends 2 right on Row 6 |
| Col 7 (SHOE-1A-03) | Banker (B) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 8 (SHOE-1A-03) | Player (P) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
Even though the visual display bends the second streak along Row 5, `explainDerivedRoadEntry()` evaluates logical column depths (9 beads vs. earlier columns), never visual display rows—proving why logical column counting is essential during stacked tails.
If a hypothetical Hand #77 were dealt at the end of SHOE-1A-03, getNextRoadPredictions() shows that a Banker win would produce Big Eye Boy RED, Small Road RED, and Cockroach Pig BLUE, whereas a Player win would produce Big Eye Boy BLUE, Small Road BLUE, and Cockroach Pig RED. Remember that each hand in an 8-deck shoe is independent of prior outcomes.
