Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no cards seen, there is no information advantage to justify a larger wager. Minimum betting preserves the shared bankroll.
Model's stated reason
The running count is mildly positive, but with nearly the full six-deck shoe remaining the true count does not justify increased exposure.
Model's stated reason
The running count is only +3 with nearly six decks remaining, so the true count does not justify increased exposure.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
