Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
No cards seen yet, so no edge information; start with a modest flat bet to preserve bankroll while we begin tracking the shoe for future count-based sizing.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with no count edge, so the minimum bet minimizes the house edge until a true count develops.
Model's stated reason
Splitting 2-2 vs dealer 7 is basic strategy; it turns a weak 4 into two hands with potential to double down later. The shoe is fresh and the running count is mildly positive, so splitting is favorable.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 vs dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit; doubling is not recommended here because the dealer's 7 upcard makes busting and losing more likely than gaining enough to justify the double.
Model's stated reason
Hard 14 vs dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit; standing loses more in the long run. The shoe is still early with a mildly positive running count, so I'm keeping the bet flat and tracking the count.
Model's stated reason
Hard 16 vs dealer 7 is a clear hit in basic strategy; standing loses more often than hitting. The shoe is still early with a mildly positive running count, so I'm staying flat and continuing to track cards.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 vs dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit; standing loses more often than hitting. The shoe is fresh with a mildly positive running count, so I'm staying flat and following basic strategy on this split hand.
