"Would you take this bet?" is a staple of trading interviews - desks fling bets at candidates to watch their gut for expected value and risk. Take the Bet? recreates that round: offers come fast, and you snap-judge whether each one is positive or negative expected value.
Because it's scored on both speed and accuracy, you learn to compute EV quickly without getting sloppy - the exact skill the live round is testing. Outcomes are randomised, so nothing is memorisable; you're building genuine judgement.
