Jim, You guys are confusing house advantage and table hold. They are two different things. Every bet on the roulette table except one has a house advantage of 5.26% PERIOD. The basket or 5 number bet is even worse at a little over 7% house advantage. The house advantage is about 50% less than the above figures on a single zero wheel. Table hold is the per centage of money the house retains from the buy-ins. Most wheels will hold 30% plus on a consistant basis. I hope this helps, Jim
