Verified by calculateAllRoads() on SHOE-1A-17.
Computed via getNextRoadPredictions() at the end of the shoe.
Over millions of 8-deck shoes, Ties settle at 9.5156% (about 6.8 Ties in a 71-hand shoe). However, standard binomial variance means that roughly 1 in 8 shoes produces 10 or more Ties. This 71-hand shoe records 10 Ties (14.08%) spread across the Big Road.
Every one of those 10 Ties pushes active Banker and Player main bets (returning the bettor's stake) and adds a green slash to the current Big Road bead. Because 61 decided hands remain (34 Banker, 27 Player), the Big Road and derived roads develop a full 26-column board.
| Logical Column | Winning Side | Column Depth | Attached Ties | 6-Row Grid Placement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Col 1 (SHOE-1A-17) | Banker (B) | 2 beads | 1 tie slash | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 2 (SHOE-1A-17) | Player (P) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 3 (SHOE-1A-17) | Banker (B) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 4 (SHOE-1A-17) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 5 (SHOE-1A-17) | Banker (B) | 3 beads | 1 tie slash | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 6 (SHOE-1A-17) | Player (P) | 3 beads | 1 tie slash | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 7 (SHOE-1A-17) | Banker (B) | 4 beads | 1 tie slash | Ends at Row 4 |
| Col 8 (SHOE-1A-17) | Player (P) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
Even when a single shoe runs hot on Ties at 14.08%, the next hand in an 8-deck shoe still carries an expected ~9.52% Tie probability—well below the 11.11% break-even threshold required for an 8:1 payout.
If a hypothetical Hand #72 were dealt at the end of SHOE-1A-17, getNextRoadPredictions() shows that a Banker win would produce Big Eye Boy BLUE, Small Road BLUE, and Cockroach Pig BLUE, whereas a Player win would produce Big Eye Boy RED, Small Road RED, and Cockroach Pig RED. Remember that each hand in an 8-deck shoe is independent of prior outcomes.
