Third umpire referrals were introduced in mid 90's, which has changed the dimensions of  cricket totally. Third umpires use video evidence to review the decision, Close call run-outs, stumping catches are possible. Batsman goes for a quick run, the fielder returns back the ball in a split second, batsmen goes for a dive and the keeper breaks the stumps. Both batsmen and the keeper take their chances and it was very close call, which could be adjourned in both ways by the third umpire.

Chances are otherwise termed as calculated risk where the chance of success and failure is equally possible (50-50). Everyone knowingly or unknowingly take chances in their life, small or big the chance which makes the life interesting. If you fail it becomes an experience and if you succeed you are awarded.
