English term or phrase: Risk $3 to make $10.

Perhaps the most common fallacy to which market participants are susceptible is: Money Odds vs. Probability Odds. Many market participants express the probability of success in terms of a risk/reward ratio. For example, if I bought my famous takeover stock (which you will hear about in the next chapter) at $26 and placed a sell stop below the market at $23 with an upside objective of $36, mv risk/reward ratio would be 3.00. Risk $3 to make $10. It is clear that I don't understand probability.
