Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no cards seen, the game is slightly negative EV; betting the minimum limits expected loss and preserves bankroll for later favorable counts.
Model's stated reason
No cards have been seen, so the fresh shoe retains the house edge. The minimum bet minimizes expected chip loss.
Model's stated reason
Running count is roughly -4 over 10 seen cards, a slightly dealer-favorable shoe, so minimum bet is correct.

Chat onRound 1: no seen cards yet, so no edge. I'm betting minimum 5. Suggest all seats bet 5 until we have a favorable count.
