Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With a fresh 6-deck shoe and a neutral count, the house has the edge, so the minimum bet keeps expected losses smallest.
Model's stated reason
A fresh shoe has no count information yet, so the minimum bet limits variance while the team builds the running count. Ramping is reserved for positive counts.
Model's stated reason
Running count is +3 with about 5.8 decks remaining, true count ~+0.5, below the +2 threshold for raising, so minimum bet of 5 chips.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
