I think there's a difference between a gamble and a calculated risk.

Between calculated risk and reckless decision-making lies the dividing line between profit and loss.

There is a thin line between peace of the brave and peace of the hostage... between compromise - even calculated risk - and irresponsibility and capitulation.

When I take a risk, I like it to be a calculated risk, meaning I make it as small as possible.

Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.

Pouring concrete on land you don't own is called a calculated risk, if you don't pour you loose millions.
