Why would Big Eye Boy show Red (=) on a new column while Small Road shows Blue (≠) on the very same hand? In this 67-hand shoe, the opening columns come in matched pairs of increasing depth: Column 1 has 1 bead (`B`), Column 2 has 1 bead (`P`), Column 3 has 2 beads (`BB`), Column 4 has 2 beads (`PP`), Column 5 has 3 beads (`BBB`), and Column 6 has 3 beads (`PPP`).
When Column 3 starts (`B` at Row 1), Big Eye Boy (lookback 1) compares Column 2 (1 bead) with Column 1 (1 bead) → Red (=). Next, Column 3 drops to Row 2 (`BB`), which is Small Road's very first mark (Column 3 Row 2): Small Road looks 2 columns back to Column 1 (depth 1), sees that Column 1 stopped at Row 1 (one row above Row 2), and marks Blue (≠)! Then when Column 5 starts after `BB` (2) and `PP` (2), Big Eye Boy compares Col 4 (2) vs Col 3 (2) → Red (=), whereas Small Road compares Col 4 (2) vs Col 2 (1) → Blue (≠)!

Pairwise depth steps (`1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3`) satisfy 1-column lookback symmetry while systematically breaking 2-column lookback symmetry on the Small Road.
If a hypothetical Hand #68 were dealt at the end of SHOE-1A-15, 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.
