Hi Ken, rest assured it's all the same for you.
Theory vs Reality for the casino here.
House edge = their theoretical edge on the player, set in stone in the game's math.
Hold = What actually happens when players sit at the table.
Remember: as a real-life fluctuating value the hold can as well be NEGATIVE to the casino.
Your win, in fact, reflects as leaning the balance towards a negative hold to them unless other players make it up for you. Unlike the house edge (being fixed in stone), their hold in cold hard cash can suck for the shift in your table (I.e when you win big).
Since the hold isn't calculated PER PLAYER, but PER TABLE, it doesn't apply to your $1000 bankroll unless you are the sole player in the shift.
If players bought-in for $10,000 and the casino paid $8000, then the casino held $2000 (their 20% hold).
For the casino, the calculation that matters the most when calculating the shift is this:
Cash in – Cash out = what we won (The Hold)
As simple as that.
Cheers!

QuoteIt is calculated by “Total in – amount paid out = hold.” Typically, this is referred to in percentages.
