Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
Round 1 of a fresh 60-round session with a full 3000-chip bankroll. A 20-chip bet (about 0.67% of the bankroll) keeps variance low while preserving capital for later rounds; no cards have been seen yet, so no edge information is available to justify a larger wager.
Model's stated reason
With a fresh six-deck shoe and no card information, the house holds a small edge, so minimum bets maximize expected chips; larger bets should wait for a favorable count.
Model's stated reason
The count is positive but below the agreed true-count threshold, so a minimum bet limits exposure while the shoe is near neutral.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
