Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
First round, no card data yet; bet conservatively and establish baseline for team coordination.
Model's stated reason
With no cards exposed at a fresh six-deck shoe, a conservative flat bet preserves the shared bankroll until count information develops.
Model's stated reason
With a pair of deuces against dealer 7, splitting is the optimal basic strategy play. The team's reported +3 Hi-Lo count further supports aggressive action, and splitting converts a weak 4-total into two independent hands with better upside potential.
Model's stated reason
With a hard 12 against dealer 7, basic strategy calls for hitting. The reported +3 Hi-Lo count is moderately positive, supporting aggressive play. Since this is the first of two split 2s, hitting to develop the hand is the correct play.
Model's stated reason
With a hard 16 against dealer 7, basic strategy dictates hitting. The +3 running count also favors aggressive play, increasing the probability of drawing a card that improves the hand (10-value cards, 8s, 9s) rather than busting.
Model's stated reason
Hi-Lo running count is +7 over 17 seen cards (~5.7 decks left), giving a modest positive true count (~+1.2) that supports a small bet increase over the flat 15 baseline while preserving bankroll for further data gathering.
Model's stated reason
The visible Hi-Lo running count is +7, a modest early-shoe advantage of roughly +1 true count. A small increase to 20 aligns with the favorable but limited signal.
Model's stated reason
The running count is +7 after 17 exposed cards, yielding a true count around +1.2, which is modestly favorable. Both teammates are increasing their bets to 20 to exploit this edge while remaining conservative. I will match their bet of 20 to maintain team coordination and capitalize on the favorable count before it potentially shifts.
