Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
No count information, first round, minimum bet to conserve bankroll.
Model's stated reason
The shoe is fresh with no count information, so the minimum bet limits variance while matching the teammate's suggestion.
Model's stated reason
The Hi-Lo running count is +3 with about 5.8 decks left, so the true count is roughly +0.5. That gives no meaningful player edge, so the minimum bet keeps expected losses low.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
