Bigger risk wrt what exactly? Time? Working 60-80 hour weeks on entrepreneurial pursuits may boost your chances, but isn't required, except on a rare, brief inflection point occasions, IMO. As for probabilities, spending 10 hours per week, thinking, and iterating on side projects, over the course of 10-15 years can bring a sustainable $10-15k monthly pre-tax income if done well. (I define well to be build stuff people want, focus on your customer, etc) If one's time horizon is smaller or income needs are larger, then there are other leverage points that can be used.
