When you face asymmetric risk, it makes total sense to be bold, to grab the opportunity at hand. At the extreme, when the downside is very low or nonexistent, as in the 'nothing to lose' case and the upside is really high, it’s actually riskier not to make the bold move. The downside of not even taking a chance is emotional: potentially a lifetime of regret and wondering 'What if?' The upside of taking a chance always includes emotional benefits — even if things don’t work out. There’s a great sense of pride at having pursued an important goal wholeheartedly.
