'Play the percentages' = chơi tỉ lệ -> đưa ra quyết định hay hành động để đạt được cơ hội thành công cao nhất dựa trên những số liệu hoặc kinh nghiệm trước đó.
Ví dụ
THE conventional wisdom (khôn ngoan) is that as athletes mature (trưởng thành), they become more risk-averse (chống đối). With age comes a greater ability to play the percentages, conservatism creeps (sự khiếp sợ) in, and the fearlessness of youth becomes a thing of the past.
With the sea temperatures in the region about 3degC higher than usual, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research meteorologist Ben Noll said it was a sign (dấu hiệu) the planet was warming. “Cold winters and colder days and colder weeks will still happen but in a warming earth they will happen less and less,” Mr Noll said. “When you play the percentages over time we will have more winters that are like 2019."
Gauff may never be famous for this shot, but she makes a lot of returns and doesn’t give away a lot of free points. She has long arms, good anticipation (dự đoán) and she knows how to move forward and cut off the angle, rather than letting the ball come to her. As with so much else in her game, Gauff also knows how to play the percentages; she hits her returns with force, but rarely goes for all-out winners on the first ball. Rybarikova won just 36 percent of points on her second serve (lượt giao bóng).
