You could reasonably argue that every time you don't split 10s when the indices call for it, you're purposefully losing money
Not minimum betting during a negative count is “not losing on purpose”. You have your spread and you play it. If my spread is $10-$100 and I sit at a $5 table, keep the same spread, I am not deliberately losing money. Deliberately losing money is to place a bet and then stand on a 12 against a 10 when the count is positive. Deliberately losing money is splitting 6’s against a 10. Deliberately losing money is to hit a 16 with your max bet out against a dealer 5.

AP’s don’t do it.
