Duke proposes that we reframe our decisions as bets, rather than as certain outcomes. By thinking in bets, we acknowledge that uncertainty is present and that our decisions are probabilistic, rather than deterministic. This mindset allows us to approach decision-making with a more nuanced understanding of risk and probability. When we think in bets, we are forced to consider the range of possible outcomes, assign probabilities to each outcome, and make decisions based on those probabilities.
