Do you back out because you are afraid? Do you back out because the risk is REAL and you don't want to be the sucker who loses out on that 10th time? I know you said you are prepared to accept the financial risk but maybe the emotional/mental possibility of losing means you don't want to start it at all?

Are you afraid of big changes in your life? I know if I could make some serious money quickly and easily with a sure fire investment I'd be on it like white-on-rice but with that would come some lifestyle changes for sure....
