The numbers depends on the rules (most important rule, S17 or H17), your counting system, your index play and your error rate. Most numbers presented to you here or circulated on Internet are numbers for experienced AP who have mastered BJ and can find the best rules for players. These numbers may not apply to you as you are still learning.
Generally speaking, for S17 6D game using Hi-Lo, you bet $40, $80, $120, $160 and $200 at TC +1, +2, +3, +4, +5. Bet $10 if TC is zero or negative, or better, Wong-Out. The above is for aggressive players spreading 20 to 1. For beginners, the bet ramp could be $20, $40, $60, $80 and $100 at TC +1, +2, +3, +4, +5. This reduces your winning rate from 0.9%/1.2% to about 0.3%. If you just want to practice and play an even game, you can bet $20, $30, $40, $50 and $60 at TC +1, +2, +3, +4 and +5.
Note that these TC numbers are truncated. For example, +2.7 is truncated to +2. Also you don't have to practice in casino. There are software for you to practice at home. And read a book about Blackjack. It helps you to see the forest, not just few tress by asking a question or two.
