When we talk about our spread, are we talking about the ratio of our low bet to our single-hand high bet or our total we bet on two spots?
If I'm using a "1-12" spread and playing two hands in good counts, is my top bet 2 x 6 units or 2 x 12 units?

IMO just be more clear and say "1x1 to 2x12" or w/e it is. Boom -- easy! You know exactly what the spread is, without any guesswork.
Otherwise, I'd say spreading 1x10 to 2x75 (for example) is a 1-10 spread, because 2x75 is equivalent to 1x100. Spreading from 1x10 to 1x100 is 1-10.

You are incorrect.
A more clear way to do this is to figure out what your single hand spread is and after find the equivalent of that spread if you were playing two hands.
Assuming that your unit is equal to that 10 dollar bet. A 1-20 spread would be as follows for one hand:
Minimum bet = $10
Maximum bet = $200
The two hand version of that maximum bet going after the same risk would be:
2 x $150
And the three hand version would be:
3 x $100
Your 2 x $100 would be equal in betting power to a single hand totaling $133.
Basically what you have there is a 1 to ~13.3 spread.
This is detailed in many black jack books. Fyi
As for the OPs question, the equivalent top bet for a one to twelve spread in risk would be:
2 x 9 units
Yeah, I know how to figure the equivalent risks. Just want to understand what's meant when people talk about their spread, especially in the context of what's acceptable to a store. For example, it's normally unwise to have more than a 1-4 "spread" at DD - does that mean 1x1 - 2x2 units or does it mean the risk-equivalent of 1x1 - 2x2 units (which would be about 1x1 - 2x3 units?)
I mean the original question was "what do WE mean by spread" but I suppose we can talk about what the pit means when they say it instead.
Imo it's probably not a term they use. I would guess that they just take note that sometimes a player is betting a small amount and then half way through the show or towards the end they begin betting many times more than that.

This is all so fucking ridicoulus.Your spread is the relation between your one unit bet and your x unit bet.If you spread 1x$25 to 1x$150, your spread is 1-6 If you spread 1x$25 to 2x$150 your spread is 1-12 I like the way most people on this site masturbates while they read their own posts.
