“calculated risk”
(noun) An action that may fail but has a good chance to succeed.
When you take a calculated risk, that means you know there is a chance of failure, but you think the possibility of success is higher…or you think that the possible reward for success is so good that it is worth it to try!
| Examples:
They took a calculated risk when they put the new computer on the market.
Even though it is a calculated risk to invest all money in Apple Computers, I think that if Apple can beat Microsoft it will become the most profitable stock in the world! |
