Bet on yourself

 It's one of the most famous slogans in basketball. "Bet on yourself," says Fred Van Vleet. He's building a whole brand on it, a brand based on hard work and all-round toughness. Bet on yourself. It carries both the connotation of pouring all your efforts into your own success and the recognition that success is never a given. It's a bet. In Thinking in Bets , Annie Duke explores the idea that most of our decision making is like placing bets because we rarely have all the information we need to guarantee success.

Tonight, my husband and I arrived at our vacation destination. It was hot and humid and we headed straight for the beach. We bought groceries and went out for music and nachos and margaritas. It was a perfect start to a relaxing week. Until we went to bed. We teased each other about the extra pillow. I turned out the light. There was a loud exploding sound. My husband told me - quite urgently - to turn the light on. It took a second or two to figure out the switch in the unfamiliar room. When the lights came on, Rob was sitting up and it took a few seconds to be sure he was okay. Scratched on the wrist and stomach, but okay. There were large splinters of wood in the middle of the bed. It seemed to take a long time to put the splinters together with the round hole in the headboard. Even then, I looked for another more reasonable explanation. I called security. He called the police. People came in and out. We met five or six police officers. They were all polite and helpful a...
