Five Consecutive 3-Bead Columns (`BBBPPPBBBPPPBBB`): across 72 verified 8-deck hands (40 Banker, 32 Player, 0 Tie), this shoe forms 32 Big Road columns spanning 32 display columns, generating 68 Big Eye Boy marks (37R/31B), 65 Small Road marks (29R/36B), and 62 Cockroach Pig marks (30R/32B).
SHOE-1A-10: 72 hands (40B / 32P / 0T) — max streaks 4B & 3P across 32 logical columns.
This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).
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.
Column 3 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 3 beads. Same depth → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 1.
This bead is at Row 3. Column 1 has a bead at Row 3 too → 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.
Deterministic seed 104110 — 55.56% Banker share of decided hands.
Phenomenon: Five Consecutive 3-Bead Columns (`BBBPPPBBBPPPBBB`).
Featured mark: This bead is at Row 2. Column 2 has a bead at Row 2 too → red (=).
Verified by calculateAllRoads() on SHOE-1A-10.
Computed via getNextRoadPredictions() at the end of the shoe.
When a shoe deals consecutive 3-bead streaks (`BBB`, `PPP`, `BBB`, `PPP`, `BBB`), each column tests Rule 1 once (at Row 1) and Rule 2 Case 1 twice (at Row 2 and Row 3). This 72-hand shoe captures a 15-hand opening triplet rhythm before transitioning into mixed mid-shoe streaks.
During Columns 2, 3, 4, and 5, every descent to Row 2 and Row 3 checks a reference column that also reached Row 3. Because `lastRow >= row` at both Row 2 and Row 3, every continuing bead records Red (=). When Column 6 stops early at 2 beads (`PP`) and Column 7 starts at Row 1, Rule 1 compares Column 6 (2 beads) against Column 5 (3 beads) on Big Eye Boy and marks Blue (≠).
| Logical Column | Winning Side | Column Depth | Attached Ties | 6-Row Grid Placement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Col 1 (SHOE-1A-10) | Banker (B) | 3 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 2 (SHOE-1A-10) | Player (P) | 3 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 3 (SHOE-1A-10) | Banker (B) | 3 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 4 (SHOE-1A-10) | Player (P) | 3 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 5 (SHOE-1A-10) | Banker (B) | 3 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 3 |
| Col 6 (SHOE-1A-10) | Player (P) | 2 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 2 |
| Col 7 (SHOE-1A-10) | Banker (B) | 4 beads | 0 ties | Ends at Row 4 |
| Col 8 (SHOE-1A-10) | Player (P) | 1 bead | 0 ties | Ends at Row 1 |
Notice how stopping a column early (at 2 beads instead of 3) is invisible on the derived roads UNTIL the next column starts at Row 1 and triggers Rule 1's depth comparison.
If a hypothetical Hand #73 were dealt at the end of SHOE-1A-10, 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.
