risk it for the biscuit
Chase the reward
Risk it for the biscuit means to take a chance in pursuit of a reward, often when the stakes feel disproportionate to the prize.
The phrase is playful and self-aware—acknowledging that the "biscuit" (whatever you're after) may not justify the risk, but you're going for it anyway: Should I ask her out? Eh, risk it for the biscuit.
