House Edge questions

1) When you see House Edge listed in CBJN, is this a % of "Original Amount bet" for Basic Strategy flat-bettor? 100 hands per hour - $10 per hand = $1000 Risk per hour. If HE is .40%, expectation would be -$4.00 per hour.

2) For flat-bettor (1.0 units per hand), is 1.20 Units a reasonable estimate for avg units risked in a 6dk, DAS game? So, allowing for splits and doubles, would Risk be around $1200? Obviously, the 1.2 would be less in game w/ no DAS and D10.

3) Pursuant to items 1 and 2, would true expectations be (per hour) $1200 Risked and -$4.80 Expected return?

Thanks for any responses!

Yes.

No, that number is 1.13.

3) Pursuant to items 1 and 2, would true expectations be (per hour) $1200 Risked and -$4.80 Expected return?

No, for two reasons. 1) The correct total bet is 1.13, not 1.20; and 2) If you use the higher value to express the house edge, that edge is lower; i.e., regardless of the method you use to express edge (IBA or TBA), the product of the average bet and the house edge remains the same. IBA produces a higher house edge. TBA produces a lower house edge. So, for your example, the TBA would be 0.354.

Clear?
