If marcus won a bet by predicting the point spread for the super bowl and claimed it was due to his understanding of probability and statistics, what attribution is he making?

The answer is "self-serving bias".


A self-serving bias is the normal habit for a man assuming praise for positive occasions or results, yet reprimanding outside elements for negative occasions. This can be influenced by age, culture, clinical conclusion, and the sky is the limit from there. It has a tendency to happen broadly crosswise over populaces.

Self-serving bias happens in every extraordinary sort of circumstances, crosswise over sexual orientations, ages, societies, and more.
