Key takeaways from this video
- The Next-Hand If Banker / If Player preview strip computes what each started derived road would record under either next hand so you can verify electronic casino displays before the cards are turned.
- Every started road always paints opposite colors for Banker versus Player on the next hand — one outcome continues the current Big Road column under Rule 2 while the other opens a new column under Rule 1.
- Extended Roads L4, L5, and L6 apply the exact same Rule 1 and Rule 2 comparisons 4, 5, and 6 columns back and are included free on /calculator in 1-row or 2-row layouts.
