Abstract
I consider the interrelations between two decision-theoretic approaches to probability which have been developed in the context of Everettian quantum mechanics: that due to Deutsch and Wallace on the one hand, and that due to Greaves and Myrvold on the other. Having made precise these interrelations, I defend Everettian decision theory against recent objections raised by Dawid and Thébault. Finally, I discuss the import of these results from decision theory for the rationality of an Everettian agent's betting in accordance with the Born rule.
