Big Eye Boy

Baccarat

One of three “derived roads” in baccarat scorekeeping, used to identify patterns and trends in the shoe. Red markers indicate predictability (patterns), while blue markers indicate chaos (randomness). The Big Eye Boy uses hollow circles and derives its data from the Big Road layout. It begins recording after the second column appears on the Big Road.

In practice

Extremely popular among Asian baccarat players who use these derived roads to inform betting decisions. Surveillance should monitor for players using electronic devices to track or predict roads.
