Increments of 9 wouldn't phase me. Increments of 7 might, if the 1 chip was ugly -
I just call with one chip, and get one chip change out of the pot. Unphased.

I will make sure I bet with the correct amount to scoop most of the $1 chips out of the pot.I just call with one chip, and get one chip change out of the pot. Unphased.
I've been trying hard to devise an optimum early betting strategy that will ensure most (if not all) of the fracs end up in my stack. Then I can bet odd amounts with impunity and sell change to frac-less players at 7 for a dollar. Profit.
First home game I every played in had a structure like this. He had 5 colors of no-denom dice chips and he set them at 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160.
Well since you explained it that way, it can't help but be an instant success.
Casinos will probably adopt it for their structures soon.
A 1/8c chip actually makes a lot of sense if one normally plays 10c/25c blinds -- changing it to 1-bit/2-bits or 12.5c/25c...... but the next chip up in line after $1 needs to be $5, not $8. And a bit/50c/$2/$10 progression would probably work best of all.
