Can someone post table or provide link that shows proper use of betting spreads and ramping.
Well, if you can stomach large fluxuations of bankroll, the best spread is to bet the risk-adjusted Kelly fraction (EV divided by variance) of your bankroll. Most people don't want to ride the "full Kelly roller coaster" so they use 1/2, or 1/4 of the Kelly bet. Additionally, Kelly bet sizing doesn't work when you don't have the advantage, so ideal Kelly betting means you're not playing any hand you don't have an advantage on (bet = 0). If you play hands at a disadvantage, you'll need to spread higher on the top end to make up for the loss in EV.
So basically, the answer is unless you describe your game in detail, nobody can really answer your question in detail. There's no magical formula.

My area has some 5-50 tables so the max spread is 10 but also some 5-500 tables where you conceivably could go 1-100 spread. Do some of you spread that big? If so, with what TC?
The biggest problem with spreading your bets is heat. Nobody bats an eye if you spread from $5 to $20, but they might notice if you spread from $5 to $50. Generally, any bets over $100 get called out to the pit boss, and hitting the table max will definitely trigger some attention. Smaller casinos care about smaller bet spreads, larger casinos can tolerate a lot more.
Again, there's no exact formula for how much of a bet spread you can get away with, but most people consider 1-10 large and 1-20 very risky.
