We introduce a formulation of quantum theory (QT) as a general probabilistic theory but expressed via quasi-expectation operators (QEOs). This formulation provides a direct interpretation of density matrices as quasi-moment matrices. Using QEOs, we will provide a series of representation theorems, a' la de Finetti, relating a classical probability mass function (satisfying certain symmetries) to a quasi-expectation operator. We will show that QT for both distinguishable and indistinguishable particles can be formulated in this way. Although particles indistinguishability is considered a truly "weird" quantum phenomenon, it is not special. We will show that finitely exchangeable probabilities for a classical dice are as weird as QT. Using this connection, we will rederive the first and second quantisation in QT for bosons through the classical statistical concept of exchangeable random variables. Using this approach, we will show how classical reality emerges in QT as the number of identical bosons increases (similar to what happens for finitely exchangeable sequences of rolls of a classical dice).
