his question is based on the sutta translation of MN60.
What is the Pali translation of “apannaka”
https://suttacentral.net/mn60/en/sujato
Ven. Sujato translate it as “guaranteed”
Bhikkhu Bodi translate it as “incontrovertible truth”
I.B Horner translate it as “the sure”
Ven. Thanissaro translates it as “Safe Bet”
When I read the Sutta, my understanding is that the meaning is very close to the word “safe bet” even though the gambling is very un Buddhist. Perhaps I would say “safe action”
