Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
Round 1 of a 60-round session with a shared 3000-chip bankroll (50 chips per round if distributed evenly). A 25-chip bet balances variance management early in the session when no information is available yet; we have no cards seen and can't inform our strategy with card counting data.
Model's stated reason
With a fresh six-deck shoe and no count information, the game has a slight house edge. Minimum betting minimizes expected loss while preserving bankroll for favorable counts.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy calls for splitting 2,2 against a dealer 7 when double after split is allowed, since hard 4 is weak but each resplit hand has good improvement potential.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 against dealer 7 is a standard hit in basic strategy since dealer is likely to make a strong hand.
Model's stated reason
Hard 14 vs dealer 7 is a standard hit in basic strategy; standing gives dealer too much equity.
Model's stated reason
Hard 16 vs dealer 7 is a standard basic-strategy hit; standing loses too often against a 7 upcard.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 vs dealer 7 is a standard hit in basic strategy; low bust risk with a 2-card total and dealer showing a strong upcard.
