Thinking in Bets is a cognitive strategy that encourages making decisions based on probability rather than certainty. It involves framing problems as bets, calculating the potential outcomes, and then taking the course of action with the highest expected value. This approach is gaining popularity in business settings, where it has been shown to improve decision-making and performance.
