[EP8D-RULE] Gaming-lab specification EP8D quantifies Either Pair (8-Deck) across 416 cards: In a 8-deck (416-card) shoe, Either Banker or Player receives an initial two-card rank pair. After the first card is placed in a 416-card shoe, 31 rank matches and 7 identical suited matches remain among 415 unseen cards.
[EP8D-EDGE] Floor audit EP8D audits a 14.3818% hit rate against the 5 to 1 paytable, which measures a 13.709% house hold and 2.105u volatility across 8-deck Macau, Las Vegas, UK, and live-dealer studio tables (EP8D). Because EP8D tabulates card ranks and totals dealt from the 8-deck shoe, scoreboard trends on Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig never alter EP8D probabilities.
