Note: B/W = Better Gamble A (higher expected return and lower risk) vs Worse Gamble B (lower expected return and greater risk); SS/RR = Small-and-safe Gamble A (lower expected return and lower risk) vs Risky-and rewarding Gamble B (higher expected return and higher risk); RA/RS = Risk averse Gamble A (identical expected return and lower risk) vs Risk seeking Gamble B (identical expected return and more risk).
