I saw these topics and sure they help a lot,

Resize longtable to width of landscape page

How to fit landscape multi-page table to textwidth

But still it does not fix my problem for some reason. I am having this table

\begin{landscape}

\begin{longtable}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}|*{19}{c|}}

and it gets off the page all the time. Also, the first "\delta Prob" column on the left gets bigger than the rest all the time.. Can you please help me fitting this table to page width and also ensure that all columns have the same size? I am probably doing something very wrong!

Thank you!

I think a source of the problem is that whereas you define the table to have 19 columns in total, you actually only have 13 columns (1 header column and 12 data columns). Fixing this issue -- mainly by getting rid of unnecessary & alignment characters -- lets the table fit into the available space just fine, without having to switch to a smaller font.

By the way, if one uses the rule-drawing commands of the booktabs package, one should not use vertical bars as well, in part because the vertical lines will not join up correctly with the horizontal rules.

(I rotated the image below 90 degrees only to make it easier to display in this space.)

[Tex/LaTex] Longtable exceeds page length

This answer is posted in response to some questions the OP posted to earlier comments. The main point of this posting is to demonstrate that it's possible to create the exact same layout of a "short" table, i.e., one that fits on a single page, using either the longtable environment or the table/tabular environments.

As you compare the differences in code, you'll notice that the each type has some advantages and some disadvantages in terms of "overhead" that's needed to get it going. For instance, a longtable requires you to be diligent about providing formats for the table's headers and footers for both the first (last) page and for the remaining pages. Of course, you only need to provide this information once for a tabular environment. However, for a tabular environment you need to remember to provide the \centering instruction in case you want the material centered, and you need to remember to provide a [h] placement specifier if you want to override LaTeX's float placement algorithm. In contrast, a longtable environment will always try to start "right here", i.e., a [h] specifier is built in.

In the end, I don't think differences in table-creating overhead should determine whether you use one form or the other. Rather, assuming the table fits on a single page, you should decide whether the material of the table should be allowed to be broken across pages or not. If it's supposed to be kept together, you should not use a longtable environment in any case.

[Tex/LaTex] Longtable fill entire page

You can change the margins of each page seperately with

\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}

to change to a new margin

\newgeometry{left=3cm,bottom=0.1cm}

to set it back

\restoregeometry

BUT, I also notice you have defined the width of your columns exactly. If you do that, you will have to put them in a way that the columns in one page stretch to the exact page width that you define (A4paper - left and right margin).
