Column 3 has 2 beads. Column 1 has 2 beads. Same depth → red (=).
Common table reading watchout: Comparing the wrong columns. Compare Column 3, the one that just finished, with Column 1.

[BP8D-RULE] Gaming-lab specification BP8D evaluates Banker Pair (8-Deck) across 416 cards: In a 8-deck (416-card) shoe, Banker's initial two cards share the same rank (A–K). After the first card is placed in a 416-card shoe, 31 rank matches and 7 identical suited matches remain among 415 unseen cards.
[BP8D-EDGE] Floor audit BP8D settles a 7.4699% hit rate against the 11 to 1 paytable, which benchmarks a 10.361% house hold and 3.155u volatility across 8-deck Macau, Las Vegas, UK, and live-dealer studio tables (BP8D). Because BP8D isolates card ranks and totals dealt from the 8-deck shoe, scoreboard trends on Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig never alter BP8D probabilities.
