If you don't take great risks, you don't get great rewards.

If you don't get great rewards, someone else will gamble on them.

If someone else gambles on great rewards and wins... you may be in a position where you are no longer a great risk to them, and can be crushed/kept from successes without any great gamble.

Self-feeding, I think.
