Question:
Betting Even Chances, how far would you feel comfortable raising your bet size
Option 1: Up to 100 x base unit
Option 2: Between 100 & 200 x base unit
Option 3: Up to 1000 x base unit
Option 4: Up to or around the table limit
Option 5: I don't care, I've money to burn
How far would you go to make your target betting even chances, over the years most have grown up and are trying different ways to raise stakes, we know martingale is a doomesday tool (but some still play it) we've discussed push n pull and the likes, my opinion is there cannot be a mechanical progression to cover all events, we need to flex witht the tables results.

I am going with under 100 units.
I am inclined to modify that quoted phrase to "there is no mech progression that we are aware of ". There is always this unknown factor :)
This is just my opinion and it really depends on the betting format, but…
First thing to do is drop the target; yes, forget all about a “targetâ€â€¦ Now you’re free to “flex†with the table, as you put it.
Next thing to do is keep the stakes as close to flat betting as possible. A very mild progression of some sort can help the bank balance without exposing it to excessive volatility. A mild progression also easily boils down mathematically to essentially the same as flat betting, but hopefully with a slight % improvement over flat betting.
I can’t vote but would suggest up to no more than 3 x the base bet.
