But my question was so basic that I think it might have slipped by you guys. With a 1:10 spread, I start raising my bet when I reach -4 with KO. At -3, I bet 3-units and at -2 4-units and so on until I reach +4 (Pivot) with my max bet of 10-units. Perfect fit.
However, If I switch to 1:8 spread or 1:20 spread, at what points do I raise bets and how much to reach my max bet at a +4 count? Or do you keep raising past +4? Or do you start raising prior to -4 counts? Reducing the spread is pretty easy I guess for 1:8....raise at -4 and stay at 2-units through -3 and -2 and then raise again at -1??
The only way I could see immediately to increase the spread to 1:20 would be to play two 1:10 spread hands.

If you want to switch to a 1:20 spread you can do a number of things:
-Keep your minimum bet the same but at each count where you raise your bet double that bet.
-Instead of doubling your bet you can instead play two hands at some of the higher counts.
-If you don't want to double your max bet halve your min bet.
