World-renowned behavioral economist Dan Ariely joins Better Thinking to explore why we make poor decisions and how to outsmart our own instincts. While not a sports bettor himself, Dr. Ariely's groundbreaking research into human behavior offers invaluable insights for anyone looking to make better betting decisions.

In this fascinating discussion, we explore: • Why humans are naturally poor at handling risk • How stress affects our ability to spot patterns • The psychology behind why we hold onto losing positions • Why some people thrive on uncertainty while others avoid it

Dr. Ariely, bestselling author and TED speaker, brings a fresh perspective to sports betting psychology that you won't find anywhere else. Whether you're a professional bettor or just getting started, this episode will change how you think about decision-making.
