	:Here to second (third) this notion. I made a Fair Grange Display with 5 categories which didn't include Artisan but did include Fish (iridium quality Bream). I then added two iridium quality Smoked Fish (Smoked Rainbow Trout and Smoked Midnight Carp) for the last two slots. I calculated this: I received full score for 6 categories, as well as 8 points for both fish (normally iridium rainbow trout scores 7 points, even factoring-in professions). Can someone with more wiki-editing-savvy add this as a tip, or as a note above the artisan category, until such time as it is added to the exhaustive list of artisan items (similar to roe)?

			:Sweet Gem Berry does not belong to any category (for the Fair or in general), so it would not get any category bonus. But you still get full points for the item, which for Sweet Berry is 6 points all qualities up to Gold and 8 points for Iridium quality. If you already have the maximum of six categories covered by other items, there would be no penalty for including a Sweet Gem Berry in your display. The Wiki already says:
			::Any items which do not fall into any of these categories will not earn the additional 5 points, but will earn points based on the sell price and quality, explained in the next section.

	The page says '''always''' bet half your start tokens on green. I tried this twice on the same day, and both times went from over 1,000 stars to less than 100. I think it would be worthwhile for the page to mention another strategy that I have seen explained in other places online: First, bet 160 on green. If you win repeat. If you lose, double it: bet 320 on green. Usually, you'll win. In the rare case when you lose that, double it again: bet 640 on green. Any time you win, bet 160 on green again.
