Make better bets — learn expected value, asymmetric risk, portfolio thinking, and the cognitive biases that warp every business decision you make.
About the book
Every business decision is a bet. The question isn't whether you're gambling — you are. The question is whether you're gambling well. Most entrepreneurs either avoid risk irrationally or embrace it recklessly. The founders who win are "risk-literate."
This book teaches the frameworks: why your brain is a terrible risk calculator (loss aversion, availability bias, overconfidence), expected value as a decision-making tool, how to find and create asymmetric bets where upside dwarfs downside, the ruin rule (never bet what can take you out of the game), survivorship bias and base rates, and portfolio thinking for managing uncertainty across multiple bets.
The appendices include a risk assessment framework, expected value calculator, asymmetric bet checklist, and pre-mortem worksheet — tools for every significant decision.
