Bill,
The confusion comes from numerous posts, some stating a single small denomination chip signifies a full bet or raise, (not requiring 50%).
Another existing rule that adds to my confusion is from the 2013 Recommended Procedures Version 1.0, Released Aug. 9, 2013:
RP-2. Bringing in Bets is Discouraged...Routinely bringing in chips as betting and raising proceeds around the table is poor dealing practice...
.poor dealing practice??? what dealer does that? The reduction in bet stacks may influence the action, create confusion
(not as much as this rule) & increase the risk of error.
Yeah, like who made the initial bet? 
The TDA recommends that the dealers do not touch a players bet unless a count is needed.
Does that mean; the dealer can't break the bet down to a readable amount unless it is requested? Only the player currently facing action may ask the dealer to bring in chips.
Does that refer to the player considering a call? If so, why would he ask the dealer to bring in chips?So there you have it...perhaps I'm running one confusing rule into another but I just don't get it
