I was looking at the HE on buy bets at the WoO, and the charts say "bet bets" instead of buy bets which is probably not right, and the "tip" says:

"If the commission is rounded down, the player can cut down the house edge by betting just under $40 for a commission of $1. A buy bet of $39 on the 4 or 10 has a house edge of 2.5% . A buy bet of $38 on the 5 or 9 has a house edge of 2.56%. A buy bet of $35 on the 6 or 8 has a house edge of 2.78% (which is still not as good as the place bet)."

I was thinking there would be more difference between which numbers were bet. Also, how does the chart jive with the tip? I must be misreading that the HE is better for the player without following the tip! Just me being dumb I'm sure, but...

it's at WoO dot com slash craps
