“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
I never get in a war I cannot count the votes for. So count them. Learn precisely what this idea needs to win before you spend a dollar chasing it. Then bet, decisively, because money is the McMansion that crumbles in ten years and a thing you build is the stone that stands.
Play it safe? Safe is just losing slowly, with better manners.
