C. Considerably steeper for losses than for gains (see also loss aversion). Steepness of the utility function in the negative direction (for losses over gains) explains why people are risk-averse even for gambles with positive expected values. While risk aversion is not part of PT per se, a pertinent part of PT is gain- loss asymmetry with regard to risk. PT's S-shaped probability-weighted, non- linear value function deems risk aversion context-dependent, as the gain-loss asymmetry illustrated above, results from our psychological assessments of risk hardly matching objective assessments of risk.

It is often the case that a person, faced with real-world gambles with money, does not act to maximize the expected value of their dollar assets. For example, a person who only possesses $1000 in savings may be reluctant to risk it all for a 20% chance odds to win $10,000, even though :20\%(\$10\,000)+80\%(\$0) = \$2000 > 100\%(\$1000) However, if the person is VNM-rational, such facts are automatically accounted for in their utility function u. In this example, we could conclude that :20\%u(\$10\,000)+80\%u(\$0) < u(\$1000) where the dollar amounts here really represent outcomes (cf. "value"), the three possible situations the individual could face.

The end-of-the-day betting effect is a cognitive bias reflected in the tendency for bettors to take gambles with higher risk and higher reward at the end of their betting session to try to make up for losses. William McGlothlin (1956) and Mukhtar Ali (1977) first discovered this effect after observing the shift in betting patterns at horserace tracks. Mcglothlin and Ali noticed that people are significantly more likely to prefer longshots to conservative bets on the last race of the day. They found that the movement towards longshots, and away from favorites, is so pronounced that some studies show that conservatively betting on the favorite to show (to finish first, second, or third) in the last race is a profitable bet despite the track’s take.
