Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
With no cards seen and no information indicating a player advantage, keep the bet at the minimum to limit expected losses.
Model's stated reason
First round of a fresh shoe with 3000 chips; a small 15-chip bet preserves bankroll while we observe the deck and any teammate tendencies.
Model's stated reason
On a fresh shoe the house has a small edge with basic strategy, so the expected-value-maximizing bet is the minimum until the running count turns favorable.
Model's stated reason
Hi-Lo running count is +3 but with nearly six decks remaining the true count is only about +0.5, which gives no player edge, so the minimum bet maximizes expected chips.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
