Bayesian Betting Hall: A Game to Update Your Beliefs
Bayesian Thinking in 2 Sentences: It is the mathematical framework for learning from experience. Instead of seeing the world in black and white, Bayesians see degrees of belief that shift with every new piece of data.
In the Bayesian Betting Hall, you step into a simulated trading floor where "common knowledge" is the currency. Your task is to long the truths and short the falsehoods, but here’s the catch: you must also set your confidence level. This game trains you to quantify your uncertainty and adjust your worldview when the evidence changes.

Why Updating Beliefs Matters in Decision-Making
The most successful decision-makers aren't those who are never wrong—they are those who are quickest to realize they are wrong.
By practicing Bayesian updating, you learn to treat your opinions as "working hypotheses" rather than fixed identities. This mental flexibility is crucial in rapidly changing environments like finance, technology, and science.
