Derived Roads: Big Eye Boy, Small Road, Cockroach Pig
Baccarat Terminal · 2026
The three derived roads don't record wins at all. They answer one question about the big road's shape: "is this shoe behaving repetitively or chaotically?" Red means the pattern repeated, blue means it broke — regardless of who won the hand.
How each road looks back
- Big Eye Boy compares the current column with the column 1 back.
- Small Road compares with the column 2 back.
- Cockroach Pig compares with the column 3 back.
Each new big-road cell asks: "does the depth pattern match what that earlier column did?" Match → red. Break → blue. It's a fixed mechanical rule — two people drawing the same shoe always get identical derived roads.
The 1-2-3 agreement read
Players watch whether all three roads lean the same color. Three reds = the shoe has been strongly repetitive at three different depths; players who "follow the pattern" bet accordingly. Three blues = chaos; pattern-followers stand aside. This is the read behind our roads engine's "group agreement" signal.
Honest note
Derived roads are deterministic bookkeeping of the past, not prediction. Their practical use is discipline: they make "the shoe is streaky/choppy" a defined, measurable statement instead of a hunch. Our terminal computes all three live and backtests how often each lean actually continued in that room — so you see the real number, not folklore. Also read: do betting systems work?
In Baccarat Terminal, the Roads engine shows 1-2-3 group agreement per room with live readings — one glance instead of drawing three roads by hand.
