My casino has the payout of the following:
4 40 wins 19 -0.016666667
5 30 wins 19 -0.02
6 25 wins 19 -0.04
8 25 wins 19 -0.04
9 30 wins 19 -0.02
10 40 wins 19 -0.016666667

The casino I go to offers:
4 60 wins 29
5 45 wins 29
6 36 wins 29
8 36 wins 29
9 45 wins 29
10 60 wins 29

Any Good? IMHO, not a bad way to keep a $282 average bet for rating purposes (probably could get the box to squeeze it to $300 average)

They say casino's aren't built on winners... No...they're built on ignorance.

Lay Bets
Lay 4/10: House edge is 2.44%
Lay 5/9: House edge is 3.23%
Lay 6/8: House edge is 4%

Combined house edge if bet all: 3.23% ("roughly" 3% if you are in a fig vig casino) (which, to me is a lot more than 2% especially since you are betting 6 numbers at a time, exposing more of your bankroll).

Sorry, "roughly" 2% is incorrect without very specific circumstances that would lower it (ie. pushing the house on the vig). The difference between 2% and 3% may not be much to you, but in math, it is a very large chasm especially when exposing so much of your BR at one time.

This much is true.

Best of luck.

your numbers on HE are not correct.....those are the numbers for commission paid always...not for commission on win only. The OP said it was roughly 2% HE assuming commission on win only...

correct HE

6 and 8.....2.27%
4and 9......2.00%
4 and 10....1.67%
