Solutions

1. Clamp the bet: bet = max(1, min(desired_bet, chips.amount))
2. Refresh from chips.amount at bet time instead of caching a bet variable
3. Check can_double()/available chips before raising the bet

Example fix

# before
chips.bet_amount = desired
# after
chips.bet_amount = max(1, min(desired, chips.amount))

bet = int(bet)
if bet <= 0 or bet > chips.amount:
    bet = max(1, min(bet, chips.amount))
chips.bet_amount = bet

def is_valid_bet(v, amount) -> TypeGuard[int]:
    return isinstance(v, int) and 0 < v <= amount

try:
    chips.bet_amount = desired
except ValueError as e:
    if 'between 1' in str(e):
        chips.bet_amount = chips.amount  # go all-in
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: chips.bet_amount = 0, chips.bet_amount = -10, or chips.bet_amount = 500 when chips.amount is 200; also betting after the amount was reduced by losses.

Common situations: Bet sizing tied to a stale amount variable, all-in logic exceeding remaining chips, or the player betting more after a double-down drained the stack.
