Action timeline
Model's stated reason
No cards have been exposed, so this six-deck game retains its baseline house edge. The minimum bet minimizes expected chip loss.
Model's stated reason
With a fresh six-deck shoe and no seen cards, the count is neutral and the house has a small edge; betting the 5-chip minimum preserves team bankroll for favorable counts.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with no information, so the house edge favors minimum bets while we build a count for future rounds.
Model's stated reason
True count is only mildly positive, so the edge doesn't justify a larger bet; keep the bankroll intact until the shoe turns favorable.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
