Read a similar thread in hackernews or I might be just Mandela effecting myself, anyways.
I think the most convincing (to me) answer was along the lines of "Having less to lose, is precisely that which make the risk reward ratio so high". You make that equation more top heavy and the ratio goes down. One can argue that modernity allows for a more denominator heavy average outcome, but that's up in the air when you factor in probability.
