Probability theory was begun centuries ago to specifically to understand decisions aka bets. The best decisions are made with full knowledge of all probabilities and risks of all outcomes, and the only rational choice is to hedge all your bets in accordance with your omniscience. Hence, there never are best decisions. Operations research was begun in the prior century to make the best of non-omniscience.

The most robust “historical” alternative to omniscient bet-hedging is the “best bet” maximum entropy method, most prominently promulgated by Ed Jaynes, whom I knew well but did not like (quite the amog jerk). The best “modern” decision techniques compare multiple outcomes with multiple rankings across multiple dimensions, and one of the hardest working practicioners is Igor Linkov.
