Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no cards seen the count is neutral and blackjack has a slight house edge, so I'm using a small bet. I'll raise it later when the count favors the players.
Model's stated reason
A fresh six-deck shoe has a negative player expectation under these rules. Betting the minimum preserves expected team chips until the revealed cards indicate a favorable count.
Model's stated reason
True count is only about +0.5 after 10 cards, so there is no meaningful edge yet and the minimum bet is correct.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
