What is the difference between "I'm pretty sure" and "I bet"?
"I'm pretty sure" and "I bet" have same meaning?
For example

What's the difference of nuance between them?
Thank you

You sound more certain and confident with "I bet"
So you don't doubt
With I'm pretty sure you aren't as confident as I bet

They are used the same. You would bet on it because you are pretty sure. They have the same meaning.

"pretty sure", is when you believe you almost know an answer.
"sure" is when you are 100% confident.
"I bet" is gambling that you know an answer.
