Betting?
What brings a shrewd financial expert like Alvin Hall to the dog track? Can we beat the bookies?
Chancer?
Kriss Akabusi knows a bit about beating the odds - but can he explain why some people seem drawn to danger?
Frightened?
Rollercoasters scare the heebies out of us - and yet they're carefully controlled, run by experts and totally safe. Raj Persaud unpicks the tricky question of when is a risk not a risk?
Scoring?
Any footballer can tell you about the risks involved in stepping up for that all-important spot-kick. None quite so eloquently as Mark Bright, though, who's your guide to perfect penalties.
First broadcast: Saturday 29 Apr 2000 on BBC TWO
