Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
Betting the minimum reduces expected loss in the absence of any card counting information.
Model's stated reason
With a fresh shoe the house has the edge, so the minimum bet keeps the expected loss smallest. Bets should only go up once the count turns positive.
Model's stated reason
The running count of +3 over about 5.2 remaining decks gives a true count near +0.6, well below the team's +2 raise threshold, so the minimum bet is correct.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
