Risks corelate with rewards, i.e. the two concepts are not independent (to run a risk for no reward is not rational; not to run a risk for a great reward is also not rational). The risk threshold, when a risk worth running, is set once the rewards are in focus. So I think the romans never tried to conquer scotland because the rewards were too low.
