Action timeline
Model's stated reason
A fresh six-deck shoe has a house edge, so the minimum bet maximizes expected chips while preserving bankroll for favorable counts.
Model's stated reason
With no cards seen the count is neutral and the house has a small edge, so the minimum bet limits expected loss until the count favors us.
Model's stated reason
True count is only about +0.5, below the threshold for a player advantage, so the minimum bet preserves bankroll until the count is clearly positive.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
