The most important implication of SEU is the sure-thing principle, discussed informally in the introduction. It means that a preference between two acts is not affected if, for an event for which the two acts yield the same outcome, that common outcome is changed into another common outcome. The condition holds true under SEU, because an event with a common outcome contributes the same term to the expected-utility integral of both acts, which will cancel from the comparison irrespective of what that common outcome is.
