Saying "there's a good chance" is not the same as saying "the chance is more than likely". I repeat: I'm taking both the probability
and the consequences into consideration.
If I say "there's a good chance you'll die of cancer if you smoke cigarettes," I don't mean it's more than likely you will die of cancer from smoking cigarettes; I mean there's a significant (even if small) chance you will die from it; and, considering the consquences - i.e. death - it makes smoking cigarettes not worth that chance.
