nothing keyed

Key the wagers for the next coup
before you take it off the report: a bet has to be priced against the
pack the bettor faced, and that is the pack before the coup, not after it.
The report says how many cards the coup takes and nothing more.

3The shoe's own report
Paste the shoe report — the Angel Eye / BSB output for this
shoe: the face card, the burn, then each coup. The desk takes the report's
cards through the same integrity checks as a keyed coup and checks the
report's own totals against the tableau, so nothing is believed because
the report says it.

The shoe map — every coup
Every coup from the first card to
the cut: the cards, the result, what the pack held, and the box that was live
at it. The strip is the whole shoe at a glance; click any coup to open it.
Is he counting? — actions, edge, EV
Every patron in the shoe, scored on
whether his money went down in step with the pack: the sign of the pack when he
bet, and whether the packs he chose beat the same bets placed at random coups of
this shoe. The number is a probability under a stated prior and alternative, not
a verdict — the trail is the same score after each of his actions, so a patron
whose score climbs as he acts is doing something. The odds he is taking are
priced at 1 Desk → House edge.
