[bIt bEt b{t bAt bVt bAt b@r\t bit be(I)t bAt bo(U)t but baIt baUt] That leaves "baht", "bought" and "bot" as homophones for me. In sloppy, casual speech you can also make that final /t/ a [?]. /u/ may also drift into [}], [1] or even [y] as in "cool, dude" [k}l d}d] but I'm usuallly good about keeping my speech more "proper".
