Where are my mathers at? Looking for standard deviation and house edge

I love the Hedgehog system that Mr Wizard put out. I'd like to see if there is anyone available to compare the standard deviations and house edge he came up with to a couple of other systems. Specifically, the Arnold (by Waylon's Way Craps), the All Day Strat (not sure who created it) shown by Casino Quest, and the Light in the Darkness (by Holy Rollr).
The Arnold:
single unit bet on pass line, then 4 unit bet on DC, then continuous Come bets. No odds on any bet. If the DC is picked off, then it is immediately replaced and then Come bets start again.
All Day:
limit 4 total units/shooter. single unit bet on DP, then 2 single unit bets on Come, then one final single unit DC. Only replace hit/picked off bets if you still have betting units for that shooter.
LitD (Light in the Darkness):
Limit $200/shooter (can be scaled up or down). $100 bet on DP. Once point established, make place bet enough to cover the DP on the established point. Use remaining funds to get other place bets. For example, if the point is 5, place 75 on the 5 and get 6 & 8 for $12 each.
The wizard mentions the standard deviation of 12.95 and house edge of 0.35% for the Hedgehog version with odds and standard devation of 2.896 (couldn't find where he posted the house edge) for the version 3 with no odds bets added. Can anyone tell me the standard deviation and/or HE for the above strats? I would ask the formulas to come up with them but that is likely beyond my math skills.
