Also, for example, if the minimum's $10 and the maximum's $100, and I place a maximum $100 bet, and I split, and then double down on each hand, I have $400 on the table, but does this still qualify as only a 1 to 10 spread?

Yes, 10-1 is enough to beat an 8 deck game if the rules are good, penetration is great, or you don't play a significant number of negative counts. No the "bet spread" is based on your initial bet, not on doubles or splits. Also 1x10 to 2x$50 is not the same in terms of effectiveness as 10-1 because of card eating issues.
Even without great rules or some super duper count or memorization, yes its possible to beat an 8 deck game with a 1-10 spread. Just leave it at that and don't ask any more questions.
Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity.
An 8 deck game, stay and play, with S17,DAS,90% pen, flat bet = -.39% IBA
with a 1-10 spread = .85% IBA, .34 units/hr.
If you spread $25-$250 you will earn $8.50/hour. That's a garbage game. You will really need to wong aggressively in such a game to make it worthwhile.
