FluentNHibernate mapping; Unable to map double or decimal with scale/precision

I'm working first time with FluentNHibernate, trying to map classes to SQL Express database. In general it works, but I'm unable to map Double or Decimal property types to specific scale/precision. Below shows result for a single property that I tested over and over with SchemaUpdate.Execute. In no case was I able to get it to work.

Would be really helpful to hear some explanation to the mappings that does not work as I expect (2-8)?

// Ok mappings:

1) Decimal: Map(Function(x) x.Balance) >> Decimal(19, 5)

// Mappings "errors":

2) Double: Map(Function(x) x.Balance).CustomSqlType("decimal") >> Decimal(18,0) - Why 0 precision is the default mapping here?

3) Double: Map(Function(x) x.Balance) >> Float , But; when running SchemaValidator after: HibernateException: Wrong column type in FnhDb.dbo.Account for column Balance. Found: float, Expected DOUBLE PRECISION

4) Decimal: Map(Function(x) x.Balance).Scale(9).Precision(2) >> SqlException: The scale (9) for column 'Balance' must be within the range 0 to 2.

5,6) Decimal or Double: Map(Function(x) x.Balance).Scale(9).Precision(2).CustomSqlType("numeric") >> numeric(18,0)

7,8) Decimal or Double: Map(Function(x) x.Balance).Scale(9).Precision(2).CustomSqlType("decimal") >> Decimal(18,0)

EDIT: I include code and hbm.xml (export) for case (4) here:

Public Class AccountMap
    Inherits ClassMap(Of Account)

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()

        Id(Function(x) x.Id).GeneratedBy.Identity()
        Map(Function(x) x.Balance).Scale(9).Precision(2)   
        Map(Function(x) x.Deposits)
        Map(Function(x) x.WithDrawals)
    End Sub
End Class

EDIT2:

Btw, this is not a VB issue. I have the exact same problem in a C# project. Can it be the MsSql2008 configuration that is not compatible with Sql Express 2008 R2?

First of all, your understanding of Precision and Scale is wrong. Precision is always higher than Scale. See this MSDN documentation for a better understanding, which states:

Precision is the number of digits in a number. Scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in a number. For example, the number 123.45 has a precision of 5 and a scale of 2.

In your second example, i.e. Decimal(18,0), 0 is Scale, not Precision. Precision is 18.

Secondly, your mapping should be this:

Map(Function(x) x.Balance).CustomSqlType("decimal").Precision(9).Scale(2);

If you set CustomSqlType("decimal") after setting Precision and Scale, the settings done by you will be reset.

EDIT:
You are using double in the declaration, where I think you should use decimal. See this question to know why. double is a floating type variable so it is mapped to a float by default until you mention otherwise or until the Precision is higher than 7. If you change the declaration of Balance to decimal, you can map the property like this without any problems:

Map(Function(x) x.Balance).Precision(9).Scale(2)
