Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no cards seen and a fresh shoe, the house edge is negative, so the minimum legal bet best preserves the shared bankroll while we gather count information.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with zero count; placing the minimum bet of 5 to protect bankroll until high counts appear.
Model's stated reason
With double after split allowed, splitting 2,2 against a dealer 7 has higher expected value than hitting.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy calls for hitting hard 12 against a dealer 7; doubling or standing has lower expected value.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy hits hard 14 against a dealer 7; the count does not justify standing.
Model's stated reason
With no surrender available, hitting hard 16 against a dealer 7 is the better play at this count.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 against a dealer 7 is a hit; the modest positive true count does not change that play.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
