This bead is at Row 3. Column 2 stopped at Row 2, one row above → blue (≠).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 2 stopped exactly one row above this bead.
This bead is at Row 4. Column 1 stopped at Row 1, more than one row above → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Thinking "no bead at this row" means blue. It is blue only when Column 1 stopped exactly one row above this bead.

Verified by calculateAllRoads() on SHOE-1A-07.
Computed via getNextRoadPredictions() at the end of the shoe.
Players using the 'Ask Banker / Ask Player' (問路) prediction table often encounter hands where the three derived roads show split verdicts—for example, Red on Big Eye Boy, Blue on Small Road, and Red on Cockroach Pig. This 71-hand shoe isolates the exact column geometry that causes three-road divergence.
Because Big Eye Boy compares against 1 column back, Small Road compares against 2 columns back, and Cockroach Pig compares against 3 columns back, any sequence of four columns where two depths match and one differs (such as depths 2, 4, 2, 2 when starting Column 5) forces the three roads to produce different colors on the exact same hand.
| Logical Column | Winning Side | Column Depth | Attached Ties | 6-Row Grid Placement |

| Col 2 (SHOE-1A-07) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 3 (SHOE-1A-07) | Banker (B) | 4 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 4 |
| Col 4 (SHOE-1A-07) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 5 (SHOE-1A-07) | Banker (B) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
| Col 6 (SHOE-1A-07) | Player (P) | 3 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 7 (SHOE-1A-07) | Banker (B) | 6 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 6 |
| Col 8 (SHOE-1A-07) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
Divergence is not a 'mixed signal from the shoe'—it is simply a mathematical report that the current Big Road column matches one historical lookback distance while differing from another.
If a hypothetical Hand #72 were dealt at the end of SHOE-1A-07, getNextRoadPredictions() shows that a Banker win would produce Big Eye Boy RED, Small Road BLUE, and Cockroach Pig BLUE, whereas a Player win would produce Big Eye Boy BLUE, Small Road RED, and Cockroach Pig RED. Remember that each hand in an 8-deck shoe is independent of prior outcomes.
