Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With a fresh shoe and no information indicating an advantage, the smallest legal bet minimizes expected losses.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with no cards seen means a slight house edge, so the minimum bet maximizes expected chips; I'll raise only when the true count turns favorable.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.

Chat onFresh shoe, count 0. Let's bet min until the count goes positive. I'll track Hi-Lo and post running count each round.
