Thanks!

The Wheel bet is disadvantageous for Deuces games, due to the reduced frequency of natural quads. Dancer cites the NSUD return for the 6-coin wheel bet as 98.44%.

He cites the 9/7 DB wheel bet return as 99.52%. But note that this presumes some strategy shifts to take advantage of enhanced quad payout possibilities. I'm not familiar with these, but presume they may include breaking 2-pair to hold just a high pair, and holding a trip from a dealt FH.

Strategy is apparently discussed in detail by Dancer in a 2008 Strictly Slots column. A briefer addendum to that article can be found at http://www.casinogaming.com/columnists/dancer/2008/0826.html
