Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no cards seen and a slightly negative expected value in blackjack, the minimum bet limits expected losses while preserving bankroll.
Model's stated reason
The shoe is fresh, so there is no evidence of a player-favorable count. A minimum bet limits expected losses until revealed cards indicate an advantage.
Model's stated reason
No cards have been seen, so there is no basis for a count-based bet increase; the minimum bet limits exposure.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
