Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no count information at the start of a fresh shoe, the minimum wager minimizes expected house-edge exposure.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with neutral count; minimum bet preserves bankroll and aligns with basic team strategy.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy with double after split says to split 2,2 against a dealer 7. The count is near neutral, so there is no reason to deviate.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says to hit hard 12 against a dealer 7, and the true count is near zero, so no deviation applies.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says to hit a hard 14 against a dealer 7, and the count is too low to justify any deviation.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says to hit hard 16 against a dealer 7. The true count is near zero, so there is no reason to deviate.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy is to hit hard 12 against a dealer 7, and a true count of about +0.7 doesn't justify any deviation. Doubling on 12 would be a clear error.

Chat onMinimum bet off the fresh shoe; I’ll track the count and signal favorable shoes.
table
Agreed, minimum bet to start. Let's track the count and adjust when favorable.
table
Agreed, min bet off the top. I'll track Hi-Lo too; let's raise when true count is +2 or higher.
table
Hit 13 vs 7. Hi-Lo running count is +2 after the initial seven exposed cards (true count still near zero).
table
Hitting 12 vs 7, count still low.
table
Standing on 18 vs 7; count is still low, no reason to risk it.
table
Splitting 2s vs 7 (DAS allowed). Hi-Lo running count is +3 now, true count still about +0.5.
table
Hitting split 12 vs 7. Running count about +4 now, true count still under +1.
table
Hitting 14 vs 7 on first split hand. Running count about +5, true count still near +1.
table
Hitting 16 vs 7 on first split hand. Hi-Lo running count is +3 by my tally, true count about +0.5.
table
Standing on 20 vs 7 with the first split hand. Moving to the second hand, 12 vs 7, which I'll hit. Hi-Lo running count is about +4.
table
Hitting 12 vs 7 on the second split hand. Hi-Lo running count is +4 (14 cards seen), which puts the true count near +0.7.
table
Hitting 14 vs 7 on the second split hand. Hi-Lo running count +5 over 15 cards, true count about +0.9.
table
Standing on 20 vs 7 with the second split hand. Hi-Lo running count is +6 over 16 cards, true count about +1.
table
Actual Hi-Lo tally from all 19 exposed cards is +8; with about 5.6 decks remaining, true count is only roughly +1.4. Minimum bet until TC reaches +2.
table
TC about +1.4, below our +2 threshold; keeping minimum bet.
table
Confirm RC +8 over 19 cards, TC ~+1.4. Seven deuces are already out, which helps us more than a typical +1.4. With S17/DAS/3:2 I estimate a slight player edge, so I'm stepping up. Min is fine for you if you prefer.
table
Standing 13 vs dealer 4 per basic strategy. Current Hi-Lo RC remains +8 after this round's initial cards (TC roughly +1.4).
table
Standing 12 vs 4; count still moderate, no need to risk a hit.
table
Hi-Lo RC is +8 over 28 exposed cards, approximately TC +1.5 with 5.5 decks remaining. Still below our +2 spread point, so minimum bet.
table
Confirm RC +8 over 28 cards, TC ~+1.5. Seven deuces are out, and S17/DAS/3:2 rules make this about +0.3% for us. Since we're maximizing expected chips, I'm betting max. Min is fine for you if you prefer.
table
Hit 15 vs dealer 10. My full-card Hi-Lo tally is RC about +7 through 35 exposed cards, still far below the 15v10 stand index.
table
Hitting 14 vs dealer 10 per basic strategy. My tally: RC +8 over 36 cards, TC about +1.5.
table
Standing on 18 vs dealer 10. Drew a 4, so the RC is about +8 by my tally, TC roughly +1.5.
table
Full exposed-card Hi-Lo tally is RC +11 through 39 cards, about TC +2.1 with roughly 5.25 decks left. Favorable shoe; I’m betting max.
table
TC +2.1, betting max as agreed. Let's capitalize on this favorable shoe.
table
Confirm RC +11 over 39 cards, TC ~+2.1. Betting max too.
table

table
Standing on 20 vs J.
table
Hitting 15 vs J. RC +8 over 46 cards, TC about +1.6, below the +4 stand index.
table
Standing on 19 vs J. Drew the 4, so RC is about +7 over 47 cards, TC roughly +1.3.
table
Full-card Hi-Lo tally is RC +10 through 48 exposed cards, about TC +2.0 with just over five decks remaining. Favorable threshold reached; betting max.
table
My tally: RC +8 over 48 cards, not +10, so TC is about +1.6 with ~5.1 decks left. Only 1 ace out of 48 cards, so the remaining shoe is ace-rich. Still a slight edge for us, so I'm betting max.
table
Hit soft 14 vs 2 per basic strategy. My full-card Hi-Lo estimate is RC roughly +7 to +9 through 55 exposed cards, so TC remains only around +1.3 to +1.7.
table
Standing hard 13 vs 2. Full exposed-card Hi-Lo count is RC +6 through 56 cards (TC about +1.2), with no relevant deviation.
table
Standing on 20 vs 2.
table
Standing hard 13 vs 2. With the count positive, we're well above the -1 index for standing.
table
Full Hi-Lo count is RC +6 after 58 exposed cards, roughly TC +1.2 with about five decks left. Below the +2 spread point; minimum bet.
table
My tally agrees: RC +6 over 59 cards, TC about +1.2. Only 2 of 24 aces are out, so the rest of the shoe is ace-rich, which adds value beyond Hi-Lo. I estimate a small edge for us, so I'm betting max. Min is fine for you.
table
Doubling 10 vs dealer K per basic strategy. Current exposed-card Hi-Lo appears about RC +9 through 66 cards (TC roughly +1.8).
table
Hitting 13 vs K. My cut-adjusted TC is about +2.5, still below the stand index.
table
Standing on 20 vs K.
table
Hitting hard 13 vs K per basic strategy; no count deviation applies at TC below +2.

table
Hitting hard 14 versus the dealer Q; current count remains below the relevant stand deviation.
table
Hitting soft 13 vs Q; count still favorable (RC +9, TC ~2).
table
Hitting 10 vs Q. RC is still about +9 over 80 cards (TC ~+2), below the +4 double index even allowing for the ace-rich remainder.
table
Standing on hard 20 vs Q. The count is still positive, around RC +8 to +9.
table
Full Hi-Lo tally from 83 exposed cards is RC +7, about TC +1.6 with 4.4 decks remaining. Low cards are notably depleted and the remaining shoe is ace-rich; I’m betting max.
table
Agreed, RC +7, TC ~1.6, ace-rich; betting max.
table
Confirm RC +7 over 82 cards, TC ~+1.6. Only 3 aces are out and 11 deuces are gone, so the remaining shoe is rich in aces and poor in small cards. Betting max.
table
Doubling 11 versus the ace: the updated Hi-Lo count is roughly RC +10 (TC above +2), comfortably above the 11-v-A double index.
table
Hitting hard 8 vs dealer ace; no double index applies here. Count is still positive with the remaining shoe ace-rich.
table
Standing on soft 19 vs dealer ace. The count is still positive and the remaining shoe is rich in high cards.

table
My tally is RC about +9 to +10 over 121 cards, roughly TC +2.5 with about 3.7 decks left. Still favorable, so I'm betting max.
table
I recount the full exposed list at Hi-Lo RC +1 through 129 cards (TC about +0.3 with ~3.5 decks remaining), so I’m back to the minimum.
table
My recount is RC +5 over 126 cards, about 3.6 decks left, so TC is roughly +1.4. 12 aces are out, slightly ace-poor, so our edge is near breakeven to slightly positive. I'm staying at max; min is reasonable too.
table
Standing soft 19 versus 3; no profitable deviation here.
table
Standing on 20 vs 3.
table
Standing on hard 18 vs 3.
table
Recounting all 136 exposed cards gives Hi-Lo RC -1; with roughly 2.2 playable decks before the cut, this is unfavorable. Minimum bet.
table
My recount: RC about +2 over 135 cards, TC ~+0.6 with ~3.4 decks left. 13 aces out, so the remaining shoe is ace-poor. Slightly negative for us, so I'm betting minimum.
table
Hitting hard 13 versus 7; count is not high enough for the stand deviation.
table
Standing on hard 17 versus 7.
table
Hitting 16 vs 7; count isn't high enough to stand.
table
Hitting hard 13 vs 7 per basic strategy; no stand deviation vs a 7 at this count.
table
My recount has the last round reducing the running count by about 1 from the prior RC -1, so the shoe remains unfavorable (roughly TC -1 with ~2 playable decks). Minimum bet.
table
Full recount: Hi-Lo RC 0 over 146 cards, TC ~0 with ~3.2 decks left. 14 of 24 aces are out, so the remaining shoe is ace-poor. Minimum bet.
table
Standing on hard 17 versus dealer 6.
table
Standing 15 vs dealer 6; dealer has a bust card.
table
Full Hi-Lo recount is RC -3 after 155 exposed cards (about TC -1 with roughly three playable decks left). Shoe remains unfavorable; minimum bet.
table
Recount confirms RC -3 after 155 cards; TC about -1.6 with the cut, so I'm staying at minimum.
table
Agree: my recount is about RC -3 over 155 cards, TC roughly -1, and the remaining shoe is ace-poor. I'm betting minimum.
table
Standing on hard 16 versus dealer 4; dealer’s weak upcard makes standing the higher-EV basic-strategy play.
table
Standing 18 vs dealer 4.
table
Standing hard 16 vs dealer 4 per basic strategy; the dealer has a bust card.
table
Full Hi-Lo count is about RC -5 after 166 exposed cards; with roughly 1.6 playable decks before the cut, the shoe is clearly unfavorable. Minimum bet.
table
Agree: last round was -2 for me, so RC -5 after 166 cards, TC about -1.8. Unfavorable; minimum bet.
table
Standing on hard 18 versus the king.
table
Hitting 12 vs K; count still negative, no reason to deviate.
table
Hitting 15 vs K; count is negative so no deviation.
table
Hitting hard 15 vs K. The count is negative, far below the +4 stand index.
table
Hi-Lo is approximately RC -7 after 177 exposed cards; with only about 1.4 playable decks to the cut, the shoe is strongly unfavorable. Minimum bet.
table
Agree: RC around -7 after 177 cards with about 1.4 decks left to the cut. Clearly unfavorable, so I'm betting minimum.
table
Standing hard 18 versus dealer 5; the negative count does not alter basic strategy.
table
Standing hard 13 vs dealer 5 per basic strategy. The dealer has a bust card, and even a negative count doesn't reach the hit index.
table
Exact Hi-Lo recount of the 186 exposed cards is RC +9. Only about 64 cards remain before the cut (~1.2 decks), so TC is roughly +7; maximum bet.
table
Careful: my exact recount of the list is 185 cards at RC -2, not +9. TC is about -1 with 17 of 24 aces already out, so the shoe is unfavorable. I'm betting minimum and suggest min for all.
table
Standing hard 15 versus dealer 5; dealer’s weak upcard makes standing the correct play.
table
Standing on 20 vs 5.
table
Standing hard 13 vs dealer 5 per basic strategy; the dealer has a bust card and the count is not low enough to hit.
table
My full-list Hi-Lo recount is approximately RC 0 with only about one playable deck to the cut; remaining composition is ace-poor. Minimum bet.
table
My full recount: 194 cards seen, Hi-Lo RC -1, so TC is about -1 with roughly one deck left to the cut. 17 of 24 aces are out, so the rest is ace-poor. Minimum bet; agree with seat_1.
table
Doubling 10 versus dealer 5 per basic strategy.
table
Standing hard 12 vs dealer 5 per basic strategy. This round's low cards push the RC to about +2, so there's no hit deviation.
table
Exact RC appears +2 after 202 cards; only ~48 cards remain to the cut, so TC is about +2.2. Despite the ace-poor composition, I estimate this last-round shoe remains slightly favorable; betting max.
table
My count: RC about +1 to +2 after 202 cards, but about 110 cards remain in the shoe, so TC is only about +0.7. With 17-18 of 24 aces gone, the ace-poor shoe makes this slightly negative. Min bet from me.
