I think you mean theta decay. Theta is the time factor of an option's value.

Beta is, roughly, a comparison of a security's (or portfolio's) volatility versus market vol.

Beta decay is studied in a completely different industry.

Thanks, it was theta, I had it explained to me first as beta, and it stuck in my mind that way.
