I mean, he send Loki, god of  lies and mischief, to retrieve one of the most powerful objects in the universe with one of the most powerful objects with him. Luckily, he didn't betray him, but he lost one of the infinity stones, object that Thanos is so obsessed over and gives it to the god of lies.

After, he sends Ronan to search for the Power Stone, despite seeing his crazy and power hungry nature.

The only possible answers to this behaviour are:


 * He is too arrogant to see that someone could betray him


 * All this foolishness is part of a espertly crafted evil plan, created by his genious level intelect

Of this two, the first one is the most likely.
