Self team: one model plays all three seats against the dealer.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
No cards seen yet at start of a fresh shoe, so bet small and flat to preserve bankroll while gathering information for future counting-based adjustments.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe, no card data yet; start with a small flat bet to preserve bankroll and gather information before scaling with count.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with no card data yet; align with teammates on flat minimum bet while we gather information.
Model's stated reason
Following seat_1's count read (~+0.6 true count) and team coordination; small bump from base 10 is reasonable given the low-card-heavy cards seen so far.
Model's stated reason
Team consensus is bumping to 15 given a mildly positive true count; staying aligned with teammates' bets keeps variance manageable while capturing small edge.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
