Poker Table Bet Line

[TJCOgators]

I have felt on my poker table not the speed cloth material.


What is the best way and best material to use to create a bet line.


I apologize if this has been posted somewhere else.  This site is pretty massive.

Not to thread jack, but what is the recommended distance for the bet line from the outside of the table? I've always wondered what fits best.

I would err on it being closer to the middle than further. Last thing you want is to have so little room to keep your chips that you get people keeping their stacks over the line which defeats the purpose. And I'm sure you're implying "edge of the playing surface" instead of "outside of the table" since a rail would drastically change that value. I guess the real question would be how far away from the center (or center line on an oval table) the line should be.
