Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
A fresh 6-deck shoe carries a negative house edge for the player, so the minimum bet keeps the expected loss smallest until the count turns favorable.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with true count 0; minimum bet maximizes long-term expected growth by preserving capital for advantageous counts.
Model's stated reason
The true count is only about +0.5 with roughly 5.8 decks left, so the edge is small and a minimum bet limits exposure. This matches the team's agreed plan.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
