The purpose of this note is to set up a formal framework in which a rigorous characterisation of this notion, and its cognate modelling assumptions, gives rise to a detailed formalisation of the betting problem which underlies the celebrated Dutch Book Argument. As our main result shows, this re?nement captures an intuitive condition which de Finetti imposed on the betting problem, namely that it is irrational to bet on an event which may be true, but whose truth will never be ascertained by the players.}, url = {http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-857/}, author = {Tommaso Flaminio and Hykel Hosni}, editor = {Francesca A.
