The most widely used concept of statistical inference-the p -value-is too complicated for effective communication to a wide audience (Gigerenzer, 2018 ; McShane & Gal, 2017 ). This paper introduces a simpler way of reporting statistical evidence: report the outcome of a bet against the null hypothesis. This leads to a new role for likelihood, to alternatives to power and confidence, and to a framework for meta-analysis that accommodates both planned and opportunistic testing of statistical hypotheses and probabilistic forecasts.Testing a hypothesized probability distribution by betting is straightforward. We select a nonnegative payoff and buy it for its hypothesized expected value. If this bet multiplies the money it risks by a large factor, we have evidence against the hypothesis, and the factor measures the strength of this evidence. Multiplying our money by 5 might merit attention; multiplying it by 100 or by 1000 might be considered conclusive.
